Schuss und Tor (1973)

About this game

Schuss und Tor is a follow-suit card game dressed up as a football game, hence the title which translates as "Shot and Goal". In the game, the player cards feature five different players, and each card lists who that player will send the ball to, e.g., Otto to Luigi. When someone plays this Otto card, the next player must play either a card featuring Luigi or a special card; if this next player can't play, whoever played the last card is given a chance to score a goal by taking the top card of the action deck.

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.
