Machi Koro: Fussball (2018)

About this game

The World Cup is just around the corner, and almost as exciting as the games themselves is the history of the many construction projects before the mega-sporting event. In Machi Koro Fussball, you get to participate in that historic process yourself as an investor who is leading multiple building projects. Which strategy leads to success? Distribute the risk over multiple investments, or invest all at once in a stadium, training center and clubhouse? Watch what others build, take risks, and hope the markets go your way so that you can profit from your own football world!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• 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.
