Finale (2005)

About this game

A dice driven soccer game where the rolls move your teammates into the best positions to score. "The teams are on the pitch and soon the finale will start. Which trainer will be the most successful in getting their players into good positions". Players alternate rolling a die and moving a player with the appropriate number. A goal is scored if you move one of your players into an opponent goal. Alternatively you can score by blocking your opponent from moving. Actions are based more on abstract strategy rather than soccer mechanics.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
