PLAYED FOR YOU

Goal!

ROLL, add, SCORE a Goal!

For a game of card-driven Soccer each player takes 3 attackers, 3 defenders and 1 goal keeper from the cards for the team he has chosen, the tactic cards are laid out. Each player has a fan card for a screen and behind this the dice of his color. At the start you roll your dice and one player rolls the white dice which are placed in the middle and are used by both players. Now you try to find a combination on a card corresponding to the dice result and choose a card from your hand for attack or defense, only an attacker can achieve a goal. Then the dice are revealed and the chosen card, too, und you choose the best possible combination from the card as regards to all dice. Boni from the tactics cards are added and then the total strengths are compared. An attacker with a higher value than your opponent’s defender achieves a goal. After 7 cards you win with the highest number of goals scored.

For a more challenging game you can add Midfielders to the game as well as special tactics and special abilities. You can make use of all players. If you play a tournament, money comes into play: You buy and sell players and you earn price money for goals scored and use of special abilities.

All in all Goal offers an astonishing amount of fun in a tiny box; the simulation works well – you can choose from two starter boxes, Czech Republic against Germany or Slovakia vs. England, teams for France, Italy, Spain and The Netherlands are available. A bonus for soccer fans are the slightly modified player names and funny caricatures of players and the ongoing decisions about tactics, attack or defense.
