Fight With Clubs: An Antiwar Game This is a game for two players, though you could obviously play it by yourself. This game is based on Francisco Goya's painting, 'Fight with Clubs', part of The Black Paintings ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Paintings ). Gameplay is inspired by Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots. It is a snapshot of man's pointless hatred for his fellow man in a low, most 'ungentlemanly' or 'uncivilized' fight where clubs replace pistols and sabers and muck replaces green sparring fields. All fights are like this, Goya suggests, dirty, tragic, senseless wastes where the combatants fail to see anything but their hatred for their opponent. And while Fight With Clubs is anchored specifically in a deeply divided early 19th Century Spain, the scene could appear anywhere, from the mire of Bosnia to the dusty streets of Israel and Palestine. The weapons, clothing, and settings may change, but the spirit of violence never does.
