Soccer Mayhem

Description

Soccer Mayhem is a fantasy wargame for up to four players, set in the chaotic world of Artrúsia, where rival supporter groups clash before, during, and after football matches. Players control gangs of orcs, humans, dwarves, or elves, each with unique abilities, morale rules, and special units, fighting across modular hex-based maps inspired by stadiums, taverns, and surrounding streets. The game combines tactical movement, dice-driven combat, morale tests, random events, and scenario objectives, with mechanics for ranged attacks, brawls, leaders, chants, police intervention, and even magic. Matches are fast, violent, unpredictable, and filled with dark humor. Despite its brutal tone, Soccer Mayhem is a social critique of real-world stadium violence. It does not glorify hooliganism, but instead uses satire and fantasy to explore its consequences through playful and strategic gameplay. —description from the designer
