The game had a beta release in 2010. After a long hiatus, changes to artwork and rules were made and an official launch of the game is planned for a 2020 release date on Kickstarter. The Ultimate Showdown is a game of creativity and fun... a game where anything can and does happen. The outcome is limited by a person's creativity not what cards are in their hand. Why play in someone else's world when you can create your own. The game is just as much fun to watch. It’s about one-upping an opponent with wits. Summary of Rules The gist of the game is that you have cards in your hand that represent different characters. You are able to use these cards to conquer, control, or disable, the opposing card(s) to win The Ultimate Showdown.
