Defenders are restricted to their home playing zone. Strikers have free movement. Players move along squares. Instructions on referee cards are followed if corresponding square is landed on. Goals / saves are decided by striker and opposing defender dice throw.  Winner is first to score set number of goals against each opposing team OR highest number of goals scored within set time.

Card Based

Pepys Goal Cards

A vintage card game where played card combinations make up goal attempts or defend against them.  Players generally play one card at a time to make up a series of 3-card formations made up of attackers or defenders.  With additional free kick and goalkeeper cards.

K Football Cards

By collecting a 3-card series a goal attempt can be made, which may be thwarted by an opposing goalkeeper or offside card.  Penalty series of cards can be played and also a 5-card unstoppable goal series.  An agreed number of goal attempts make up a half.

Gazza! The Game

(Traditionally known as 'Kick Off')

The number of squares to move and direction is decided by playing of cards.

Play a card from the hand then pick up from the deck.

Free kicks, corners, penalties, saves and goals are all represented.

Duration - Once the deck is exhausted it is half time. Reshuffle and play a second half. (30 mins)

Football Dominoes

All 28 dominoes are placed face down in a pitch formation.  The ball is moved to an adjacent domino half whose value when turned over decides possession.  Turn dominoes back face down upon completion of a move. Keep possession to move the ball towards your opponent goal.  Remember the position of dominoes already seen to make an advantageous swap of dominoes from one pitch position to another.

Strategy

Car Soc

In this vintage classic, 11 players per side are moved a number of squares around the printed pitch by playing a choice of movement cards.  There are 3 sets of cards numbered 1 to 9 for each side to move both their players and / or the ball.  Once familiar with the movement procedures, tactical strategy comes into play.  Players keep possession and continue their turn as long as they keep making successful passes.  Once one player has used up all their cards, the opponent has one more turn then the game ends.

Gola System Soccer

4-2-4 formation is used.  Players generally stay in zones.  Movement is always straight - forwards, backwards, sideways and diagonally. Depending on position, players move either 1 place, 3 places or are unrestricted.

On each move, a man is moved first, then the ball must be moved, if possible.

The ball is moveable when it is next to the grounded foot of a player.

Each player has alternate turns.

There are amended move rules for kick offs, goal kicks, corner kicks and throw-ins.

Duration - Game is timed.
