Gran Gol (1998)

About this game

OBJECT OF THE GAME Grangol is a simulation of a football match between two teams. The ultimate goal here as in any football match is to score more goals than your opponent! Actions alternate between players.First they attack and then defend using cards. PLAYING THE GAME The player draws a card and gets ready to play a card. In each turn you draw one more card and play one card unless specified otherwise in the text of the card played. The first player is the attacker.If he loses the ball do to a card played by the defender he is in turn defending. There are 5 "Field" cards which represent the playing field in sections (2 areas, 2 three-quarter, 1 midfield). When one player makes a successful action (both attack and defense), this section turns the field immediately in front of her with arrows in his favor, to indicate that this is now in that section of the field. DURATION OF THE GAME The game is divided into two parts, each time ends as soon as you turn the "recovery" card or when a deck is depleted Between the first and the second Half cautions and dismissals will be reset.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 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.
