HOW TO PLAY BUTTON MEN
GAME HISTORY
“Avis is an expert chainsaw dueler and ice sculptor, and she likes to beat people up.”
So began the fable of Button Men, named the best Abstract Board Game of the year when it released in 1999. The game was originally sold as two-packs of 2.25″ pin-back buttons. There were several expansions from us, as well as licensed expansions based on Lunch Money, Legend of the Five Rings, Girl Genius, Sailor Moon, Dork Tower, and many more. There were hundreds of characters.
