You’re a Mexican wrestling promoter, luring bankrupt American businessmen into back-alley fights south of the border. You promise to pay your marks a million dollars if they win five fights, so your hope is that they only win four.

Secret Tijuana Deathmatch is the product of a strange series of circumstances. Atlas Games had an extra 5000 sheets of die-cut counters for their game, Spammers, which John Nephew donated to Cheapass Games so that we could make a game that used them. These counters, mixed with a stellar game title from Toivo Rovainen, gave rise to this limited-edition awesomeness that is Secret Tijuana Deathmatch.

Of course, we can’t replicate the die-cut counters, though we have included a scan of the sheet. You can print and cut them as-is, find alternate means of creating them, or use stand-ins with similar art. Or maybe you could find an old copy of Spammers!

The gameplay is a series of heads-to-head matches, in which fighters compete with three stats: Hit, Trix, and Blok. Meanwhile, everyone else can bet on the fight, and both players can play tokens to affect the outcome. Obviously, the player who finishes with the most money wins. As in life.
