The Cup Final

The Cup Final is a thrilling card game about the clash between two rival football clubs in a decisive final match. Take command of one team and defeat your rival so you can lift the coveted trophy in triumph. The game is a faithful recreation of the emotions of a real football showdown, complete with highs and lows, heartbreaks, last-minute equalizers, injuries, red and yellow cards, corner kicks, free kicks, dives, VAR, handballs, altercations, penalties, offsides, own goals — and even the occasional pitch invader or two. All of it is wrapped in a simple system, yet bursting with strategic and tactical possibilities that create both unpredictability and realism. The game will give players the same emotions and outbursts as if they were watching their favorite team in a real cup final. You’ll be biting your nails when your rival gets a free kick in the dying seconds of extra time — and tearing your hair out when you miss an open goal. In a match, you and your rival take turns playing on offense and defense. On your side you have 3 Star Players with special Signature Moves, and a Strategy that hopefully gives you the edge. You play Team Cards that have two halves - one half for offense, the other for defense - so each card played will be a hard decision. —description from the designer
