StreetSoccer

A dice-driven football duel on a small grid, with five figures per coach and a shot power set by leftover pips.

A tiny football match on a board, played in the spirit of Dutch street soccer. Two coaches each steer five figures, goalie included, around a pitch ten squares long and six wide, and a full match lasts 25 game minutes. A die tells you how many squares one of your figures may move. Reach the ball and you shoot it by the pips you did not use, plus one, and you can pass between teammates. Luck plays a part, but the smart coach positions players for the next turn and works out the odds for both sides. It came out in 2002, takes about half an hour and suits two players who want a quick, tactical kickabout on the table.

Who it's for

Two of you love football and want a short, tactical match you can play at the kitchen table.

Not for you if…

You want to play with more than two, or you hate dice deciding half of the outcome.

Vibe's take

Quick, tense and sporty. You gamble on the dice, then adjust your formation to punish whatever just happened.
