Escrete (1982)

About this game

Escrete is a game where each player starts as a soccer team manager trying to buy players and organize the best squad. After that, each player becomes the coach, planning the better tactics to use during the match and, at last, the player turns into the hired soccer players, trying to do incredible moves that will drive the audience crazy. Wins the game the player who wins the tournament.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
