About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a soccer game that's out of the ordinary! Football Fantasy is a board game that uses a book as its main component, with each page representing a different view of the field. The idea is that each player takes the opponent's team book and sees the field as if they were the coach on the other side. Each round, you both secretly choose a play from six available options and announce it simultaneously. A grid on the book's page shows the outcome of the play, taking you to a new page and, who knows, maybe to a goal! It's a fast-paced tactical duel where predicting your opponent's moves is the key to victory. Perfect for those who enjoy a sports game with a unique twist and aren't afraid of a strategic two-player challenge. Think of it like chess with a soccer theme, but with the surprise of simultaneous actions.
