Das Ligretto FuSSballspiel

Now we get sportive!

The Ligretto mechanism is well suited for a soccer topic; in 2012 a new game lets us play a soccer match based on the Ligretto rules. Five out of 24 Field Cards showing numbers between 2 and 25 are randomly chosen and laid out for the playing field. At each end of this row one team places its stack of Goal Cards with the football shirt facing the team. 60 hand cards for each team are dealt evenly to all members of a team. Now each team tries to make its way from its own stack of Goal Cards at one end of the field to the opposing goal; each team must complete the field cards from left to right. To complete a field card all team players turn up cards from their stack to place suitable cards underneath the Field Cards to make up the numeric value of each Field Card. You can place the top card just turned from your draw pile or the top card from one of your two personal discard piles. If necessary you shuffle your discard piles together for a new draw pile. When you reach the Goal pile, you turn over the top Goal card; all team members shuffle their hand cards and turn them over to show the shirt side. Now you turn up again cards as usual to lay out the Goal Scene depicted on the Goal Card. If your team manages that first you have achieved a Goal and take the card. All players’ stacks are shuffled for a new draw pile and new fields cards are laid out for a new round. The first team to achieve five goals wins the game.

Das Ligretto Fußball-Spiel is very good fun! Character, allure, speed and hectic of the basic game have been kept intact and the flair of a soccer match has been nicely captured!
