Counter Attack: the football board game

Product Information

A failed nutmeg counts as a successful tackle for the defender, and a roll of a 1 for the defender is still a foul.

Any time an action ends and the ball is in one team's final third, a free action takes place where all players in the opposite final third may move up to 6 hexes, regardless of PACE. When you are haring down the wing with a fast player who has a poor dribbling stat and a defender is closing you down but there is no obvious cross yet because you were slow getting forward is so frustrating and exciting, that feeling you get when you watch your favourite team closing in on goal, it’s that, but it could last minutes while the play is working itself out as you are waiting to see where the other player is positioning his players and you are trying to figure out what to do now. My wife and I were having a match when he came home from his friends one evening and we found out that Counter Attack is a three-player game. A second yellow card gives a player a red card and they will then be sent off and the counter removed from the board for the rest of the game.This becomes a duel between the attacking players dribbling statistic vs the defending players tackling statistic. The defender will now perform a check against the referee's LENIENCY, again looking to roll under the value. Just like a real match of the beautiful game, your job is to score more than the other guys, nobody wants to settle for a draw, and nothing better than the final manager handshake knowing you've got the three points in the bag! These moves happen while the ball is moving after the touch, so a player cannot move offside through it.

For a throw-in a movement action is used rather than player repositioning so the timer will keep running.If a player is offside, but they do not get involved in play in any way, such as getting in an opponent’s way or touching the ball, then there is no penalty as long as they stay out of any influence of play. Whilst there isn’t a great deal of weight to the player counters and balls they are very good quality with high-quality printing. When you link passes and moves together and outwit an opponent to get a shot off you do want to jump up and shout and I find my heart rate rising as I am about to pull off a ruse, casually chatting about nothing in particular when my mind is screaming “PLEASE DON’T NOTICE, PLEASE DON’T NOTICE”. I then used a ‘ long ball ’ (different from a high pass – it can be played to anywhere on the pitch so long as it’s more than 5 hexes from any player) to bomb the ball up the other end of the pitch where my winger had been loitering.

Having a large community means that I have played matches with players around the globe, and also played against many different play styles, some players like to play this as a football game, whilst others will go at each match as a board game player, there are never any two games the same, helped by the draft of teams from 90+ available players each match.Other Bits - Lets go over a few other smaller parts for the essential rules, starting with the dreaded offside rule.
