Game: "Let's Hit Each Other with Fake Swords"

[ysabetwordsmith]

My partner spotted this game today.  Given the small size of the box, the "swords" are presumably sized more like knives.  But there are many fine swords of foam that you could use instead.

That’s the game I was playing with my friends this weekend!
It’s fun but not something I’d say makes use of real sword techniques….

Yay!

I'm glad you had fun with it.

It doesn't mimic real sword fights. It does include a few sword fight training techniques in the "handicap" category to teach people how to cope when shit goes wrong. That "don't bend your elbow" is exactly what happens when someone clubs your plate mail and a joint jams. You learn to compensate or you die.
