Board game boxing fans are no stranger to the work of the brothers Jim and Tom Trunzo, who 42 years ago launched their TItle Bout championship boxing through Avalon Hill. Jim Trunzo discusses some of the game's many ups and downs through the decades — including the current economics and realities of board game conception, manufacturing, distribution and marketing. Through it all, his passion for keeping the game alive endures undiminished, as his Title Bout II attests. Here, Jim pulls no punches in discussing the best — and not so great — fighters to ever lace up gloves, but does pull back the curtain on his methodology and attention to detail in creating a playable game with fast-action cards and boxers dialed in just right to perform as they did in real life.
