About MatGrind

Master the mat with MatGrind, a strategy card game built for wrestlers, by wrestlers.

Pick from 90+ wrestling move cards — single-legs, double-legs, fireman's carries, arm throws, gut wrenches, tilts, and more. Every card is grounded in real technique with power ratings, stamina costs, and position requirements that reward actual wrestling knowledge.

THREE AUTHENTIC STYLES
- Folkstyle (NFHS/NCAA): Riding time, escapes, near-falls, and control-based grinding
- Freestyle (UWW/Olympic): Explosive throws, gut wrenches, and exposure scoring up to 5 points per throw
- Greco-Roman (UWW/Olympic): Upper body only, par terre, no leg attacks

STRATEGIC DEPTH
- Chain wrestling: Link setup moves into powerful attacks like real mat sequences
- Counter system: Strategic reads and defensive cards beat specific attacks
- Stamina management: Every move costs energy that regenerates between periods
