Hi,

I am new to the forum and have been attempting to locate the board game Title Bout. I just read your post and it sounds incredibly interesting and fun. Do you know where I may locate a copy of the board game or anyone who may have one for sale?

Thank you,

Tim

Title Bout Board Game Re-release!

PT Games is excited to announce that the Title Bout Game of Professional Boxing has been exclusively licensed from the Trunzo Brothers, Jim and Tom, the creators of the original game. PT Games will bring back the greatness of the original and working with the Trunzo’s adding a few new wrinkles.
Title Bout has remained a beloved tabletop boxing game for many fans of boxing and board games, even 35 years after introduction Title Bout is highly sought after on ebay and other auction sites.
Now the wait is finally over. You will once again be able to buy the game and for a fraction of the going ebay rate. In fact we will offer the game and cards with PDF or Print options. Using the same high-gloss heavy cardstock and great pieces that PT Games buyers have come to expect or if you prefer instant PDF availability. But it doesn’t stop there.
The new edition tentatively titled ‘Advanced Title Bout’ will retain all of the charm of the original game, including fighters rated in over 25 categories, FAC Cards, a game board with all of the charts right on the board, easy to understand and quick to learn rules, but with many new updates. With the passage of time and the advent of better stats the fighters will be more accurately rated and a few new things will be added to the gameplay. The gameboard will become smaller, charts easier to read, and my favorite, we will be asking for your input. After 35 years of playing the game, you get a voice in the new edition.

PT Games and JT Publishing are very excited to announce the Pre-Release special for Advanced Title Bout.
Advanced Title Bout is the next step in the evolution of the classic board game that debuted over thirty years ago as an Avalon Hill/Sports Illustrated board game.
Like its predecessor, Advanced Title Bout is a simulation of the sport of professional boxing; and like the original game, Advanced Title Bout provides the speed, unpredictability and excitement of the fight game.
However, Advanced Title Bout makes use of over twenty years of additional research and innovation, making the rated fighters the most accurate rendition to date. The newest iteration of the classic boxing board game also includes completely revised tables, as well as new ones to add even more realism and accuracy to the simulation. Included in the game is a heavy chipboard gameboard, a first for PT Games, a full-color ruleset,
deck of startegy cards on high-gloss heavy cardstock, Boxing Action Card deck on high-gloss heavy cardstock, 16 fighter cards to get you started printed on high-gloss heavy cardstock, scoresheets, and another first for PT Games a full-color chipboard gamebox to hold all of the fun!
New Features on all Fighter Cards
The newly designed cards will retain the basic format of the original Title Bout fighter cards. The placement of certain ratings may be a bit different but if you’ve played the game before, you’ll recognize the style. There are some obvious differences (and improvements!) however:
The most notable change is that each fighter has two columns, the first column representing the fighter at the start of the bout and the second representing the fighter after he has fatigued. This is a significant advance in the evolution of the simulation: first, you no longer have to calculate changes to ratings after a fighter has
used all of his endurance; second, each fighter is individualized to reflect what takes place after endurance is gone. Before, every fighter “was painted with the same brush” and the same penalties were applied to each fighter. Now, a tireless fighter like George Chuvalo or Rocky Marciano will be rated differently when they fatigue than, say, a fighter like George Foreman –in his first career.
Fighters have more career information on their cards, including nicknames, career dates that are broken into prime years and years per division fought (in the case of fighters who frequently fought in two divisions).
New ratings have been added to better simulate the fighter and his individual skills. Fighters are rated for their ability to cut off the ring, to counter-punch beyond the original rating, and for their conditioning prior to a fight.
$39.00 Pre-Release Price for Print or $44.00 at Release for the Print edition,
$8.00 PDF available on day of Print Release.
Release Date TBA. Expected December 2014!
