About the game
What you do in a play session
In Guild Ball: Kick Off!, get ready for a brutal, adrenaline-fueled football match where strategy is as important as brute force! Two players take on the role of coaches, leading their teams – either the rowdy Brewers or the tactical Masons – onto a battlefield that looks more like a medieval football pitch. The goal is simple: be the first to reach 12 victory points. And how do you earn those points? By scoring spectacular goals or, well, sending opposing players back to the bench with somewhat… aggressive plays. Every decision you make as coach is crucial, from positioning your players to executing exciting plays that can change the course of the match. As your athletes exert themselves on the field, they generate a special resource that allows your team to play even harder, driving the Guild Ball crowd wild! The Kick Off! starter set comes complete with everything you need to start playing: 12 super charismatic character miniatures, each with their own unique playstyle and striking personality. Plus, tokens and health dials make it easy to track the effects of each play, allowing you to combine your players' unique strengths to completely dominate the field. It's a miniatures game with plenty of action and tactical decisions, perfect for those who enjoy a good challenge and a unique theme.
