How versus works
Players compete on a shared board, racing to collect keys by winning rounds and using items to sabotage opponents between minigame face-offs.
About this game
Pummel Party turns the classic party board game format into a competitive free-for-all for up to four friends (eight online). Instead of gentle dice rolls and polite turns, every space can trigger item pickups, traps, or minigame challenges that pit players directly against one another in a race to unlock the treasure chest.

Items range from simple projectiles to absurd contraptions that let you steal keys, teleport rivals, or trigger chaos across the board. Between turns, the group jumps into standalone minigames that test reflexes, timing, and willingness to elbow past friends. Victory in a minigame earns keys, and the first player to collect enough unlocks the chest and wins the session.
Each match supports local split-screen or online lobbies, and the Steam Workshop adds custom boards and minigame variations. Sessions can stretch or compress depending on house rules, item frequency, and how long the group wants to prolong the mayhem before crowning a winner.

How do you beat your friends in Pummel Party?
Win minigames to earn keys, then race to unlock the treasure chest before anyone else. Use items from board spaces to steal keys from rivals, teleport them away from the goal, or trigger traps that set them back. The first player to collect enough keys and reach the chest wins the session.
Can you sabotage other players during their turns?
Yes. Items you collect let you attack rivals with projectiles, steal their keys, teleport them to disadvantageous spaces, or trigger chaos that affects everyone on the board. Landing on certain spaces also activates traps or events that can hinder opponents between minigame rounds.
How many people can compete in one match?
Pummel Party supports 4 to 8 players in each session, either locally through split-screen or online. You can also fill empty slots with AI if your group is smaller than eight.
Do minigames let you directly interfere with opponents?
Yes. Minigames test reflexes and timing while letting you elbow past, block, or outmaneuver friends. Winning a minigame earns you keys, while others walk away empty-handed or further behind in the race to unlock the chest.
