A quick game in the pub or on a train
Two dice, a minute to learn, and you decide how long the match lasts.
Young kids who want a football game
First to three goals, ages 7 and up, and it is over in 10 to 20 minutes.
Fans who want to play every pass and tackle
You draft and line up a real squad, and player stats plus a d12 decide each duel.
Playing alone or keeping a league
It has a solo mode and a match takes under an hour, so a season is realistic.
Armchair managers who love tactics
You play the coach: formations and tactical choices shift the dice, not individual players.
