Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent's head and carry it through the goalposts.

No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real, and the crowds love it. Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field.
