"Random Violence" is a turn-based tactical combat board game with a cyberpunk theme, designed by Kendrick Curtis.

Players control one (or occasionally more) character each with equipment drawn from a selection of weapons, armour and gadgets. In the first edition, "Corporate Osaka", characters are either an Interpol agent or a corporate assassin. There are twelve standalone missions and a two-player campaign.

The game is played on one of four square grid blueprint-styled maps, and utilizes an action point based movement and combat system. The mechanics are dice-based, with each character having different contributing statistics. The main dynamics are between 'spot' and 'sneak' rolls to initiate combat, and between 'strike'/'aim' and 'dodge'/'block' rolls to cause damage. Wounds are assigned a random location; for example a head wound causes grievous stat-damage whilst a foot wound merely hampers.

The emphasis is on fast play, with games lasting from ten minutes to half an hour, as such it has drawn comparison with Steve Jackson Game's "Frag". [http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/12/12166.phtml Review] at RPG.net] Reviews have commended the fun gameplay and variety of "Random Violence" whilst criticising the early player-knockouts that sometimes occur and unsuitability for younger players.
