About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, football fans! How about a tabletop soccer match that fits in your pocket? Revanche is a super fun, football-themed card game where you take possession of the ball and create scoring opportunities by playing matching numbered cards. But it's not just about kicking to the goal, you know? The referee die steps onto the field to spice things up, deciding between direct kicks, corner kicks, and penalty kicks, but also dishing out yellow and red cards, because the ref is king! The game is a true simulation of football's excitement, complete with strategic substitutions, those heart-pounding extra minutes, overtime for the toughest players, and, of course, the tense penalty shootouts to decide who takes home the trophy. The player who scores the most goals by the end of the match claims victory. Prepare your best hand management strategy, hope for some luck with the dice, and show everyone who's the tabletop star!
