Rollplay Football is a board game about football. It has 10 different teams and 110 unique player cards.
Pick your team and control your favourite players in a board that looks like a football pitch.
The rules are simple: score more goals than your opponent and win the match!
What you get:
- 1 game board
- 10 team cards
- 110 player cards
- 45 coach cards
- 10 ball tokens
- 5 black dice (1x d20, 2x d12, 2x d6)
- 5 white dice (1x d20, 2x d12, 2x d6)
- 1 rulebook
Kickoff!
You and your opponent take turns, first the attacker, then the defender. The attacker tries to pass the ball between his players, dribble and shoot to score a goal. The defender needs to move the players wisely, and choose the right moment to tackle to get the ball.
Each player has its own set of skills. Higher skills give you higher dice, thus a better chance to succeed in skill checks.
There are also special coach cards that can be played at any time to tip the balance to your side. Use them to turn opportunities into fantastic goals!
ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE?

Player cards
Player cards represent football players. Each card has the player's team colors, the starting position for that player in the pitch, and a set of skills.
Like in real football each team has 11 players: 10 field players and a goalkeeper.
Field players have 4 skills: pass, dribble, shoot and defense. Goalkeepers have 3 skills: pass, defense and goalkeeping.
Skill values range from 1 (lower) to 5 (higher) and each player has a unique combination of values. For example, attackers usually have higher shooting whereas defenders have higher defense.
Player cards have two sides: black or white. If you are playing in the black spaces of the board, you use the black side of the cards. Otherwise, you use the white side.

Game board
The game board is a football pitch 53x79 cm large. It has 31 black spaces and 31 white spaces to place the player cards. One team uses the black spaces and the other team uses the white spaces.

Actions, skills and dice!
Players use their skills when they do actions. For example, if a player is passing the ball, the value of the pass skill represents how well he passes the ball.
Sometimes players have to do a skill check to see if the action is successful or not. Skill checks use dice. An higher skill has an higher dice, so an increased probability of being successful.
Help us making it happen!
We have been working on this game for the past two years. The game is ready to go, but we need your help to make it happen.
The total production costs for 1000 copies are near 20.000€.
We are hoping to raise 10.000€ from this campaign and, if we reach this goal, the project will go ahead and we will support the rest of the investment.
What comes next?
This campaign will run for 2 months.
We will have weekly updates with details about each individual component. While detailing each component we will further explain how to play the game.
And don't forget that we have special stretch goals if we meet our main objective!
