  The Armchair Empire - Tabletop Game of the Week: Fightball From James Ernest Games
The cards are slightly thinner and less durable than a deck of quality playing cards, but they shuffle well and seem capable of holding up through dozens of games (at which point a player would have certainly got their money’s worth).
Fightball, from designers James Ernest and Mike Selinker, attempts to address the above concern by replacing the normal, turn-based action of a card game with a more dynamic real-time model.
Fightball is the most enjoyable real-time card game I have ever played.

 Funagain Games: Fightball: Cavaliers vs. Team Sport
Thus was born Fightball, a very weird version of Basketball with at least three balls (maybe more, we're not sure), two goals, and extremely violent gameplay.
Brawl seemed just like a one on one street fight (which is exactly what it is) and that just wasn't the right take on the idea to make me want to buy a bunch of decks and play.
