Hahah okay: ThumbderDome Wrestling is about thumb wrestling

Greater than the thumb of its parts I can’t quite put my finger on it, but thumbthing about this game really catches my attention.

By my count, we had somewhere in the neighborhood of half a dozen actual awards given out during the two-hour presentation.
