About the game

What you do in a play session

Red Card Rumble is a fast-paced, football-themed card game for 2 to 5 players. In about 20-30 minutes, you’ll build your squad with Player cards (Defender, Midfielder, Striker, or a Legendary Wildcard) and strategize to score points. The goal is to reach 9 points first. Manager cards let you steal opponents' players, skip turns, or block moves with a VAR Review. Cash cards can save your team from fines or breakups. The highlight? The Penalty Shootout: with a special card, you challenge an opponent to a real-life shootout, tossing a ball into a foldable cup. Score a goal, earn a point! The box includes 108 cards, 1 foldable cup, and 4 match balls. No apps, no batteries — just pure fun.
