The greatest fighters in the Dragon Ball Z universe have assembled to see who is the mightiest of them all! Part bluffing game, part deduction, Dragon Ball Z: Over 9000 has players selecting an iconic hero or villain from Dragon Ball Z and competing against their friends to be the first to get their power level over 9000!

The goal of the game is to become the most powerful fighter in the DBZ Universe. You accomplish this by attacking other players and by using power-ups.

At the beginning of each round, players draw tokens from the center pile and place them down on their character's four slots. Players then challenge another player in a duel and in order to participate in a duel the player much have at least one facedown slotted token. Turns go around the table until no players may duel each other.

When a player reaches "Over 9000", the game is over and they win the game.
