Contenders is an award winning role-playing game dealing with the shady and painful world of boxing.
No need for a GM or preparation means you can jump straight into the dark world of Desert City.

Contenders won a High Ronny Award for games design, alongside Gregor Hutton's 3:16. Contenders has since been expanded into a full game - with play examples, new rules and lots of great art.
The original 24hr version is still available as a free demo.
