Football Game

What it is

A simple counting board game themed around a football match, made by Norfolk's Orchard Toys. Pieces are thick card.

A simple roll-and-move board game with a football theme, built on the snakes-and-ladders idea. Each player has their own board and moves a ball counter up towards goal on their team's colours and back on the opponent's. Two spinners add luck: a whistle spinner that can send you back to the start and a goal spinner that either scores or pushes you back down. There is no reading or strategy involved, so it suits young children playing with family.

Worth knowing

Too simple for children past about seven.

Skip it for older kids who want decisions in a game, since play is decided by dice and spinners.
