THE NAME
騎馬戦 (kibasen) means "cavalry battle". It is the traditional game of chicken fighting played at Japanese school
sports days: classmates lock arms to form a horse, carry a rider on top, and the riders battle to pull off each
other's headbands. KIBASEN keeps the horse and the rider, and raises the stakes.

Requires an internet connection, a free Kibasen account, and a keyboard and mouse.
