What kind of game is this?
Pummel Party is a game created by a studio called Rebuilt Games, consisting of just two people, in which players move around the board in turns, collecting items used to make the game harder for the opponent, and participate in various minigames. Pummel Party was released in 2018, but it wasn't until 2020 that the wider audience took notice.
What made the players like this game so much?
Perhaps you won't be surprised to learn that the popularization of Pummel Party was fueled by the biggest streamers. Earlier this year, they became interested in this production, and began streaming their matches against their friends. The game quickly caught the attention of viewers, and quickly spread across the streamer community. This, of course, made the game more appealing to regular players (especially between February and March), who wanted experience first-hand the fun this game can yield.
