Golazo (2021)

About this game

Golazo is the action packed football(soccer) board game - easy to learn, but with real tactical depth. Golazo provides the perfect balance of luck and skill. Win the dice roll and move your counters tactically around the pitch; will you dribble past the defenders, put it out wide for a cross, or find the killer pass that your opponent didn't spot? Golazo is easy to access: the rules can be picked up in a few minutes and players are always involved. Gameplay is fast paced, capturing the excitement of a real football match. End-to-end action keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole game. Players roll dice against each other and take control of the board to use their moves. Game changing action cards are picked when a "G" is rolled and time is moved on. —description from the designer

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.
