Red Card Rumble

Description

Red Card Rumble is a fast-paced football-themed card game for 2 to 5 players, playable in 20 to 30 minutes, where set collection and hand management collide with a real physical skill challenge. Players build a squad by collecting Player cards, a complete team of three (Defender, Midfielder, Striker, or a Legendary Wildcard in place of any position) scores points toward the 9-point win condition. Manager cards let players steal opponents' players, skip turns, or block moves with a VAR Review card, while Cash cards can be stacked to pay off Trophy Winner fines and protect a team from being broken up. The game's signature mechanic is the Penalty Shootout: With a Penalty Shootout card a player can challenge an opponent to a real-life shootout, throwing one of the included match balls into a foldable cup. A successful shot scores a point outright, adding a genuine skill element on top of the card strategy. Each box includes 108 cards, 1 foldable cup, and 4 match balls. No app, no batteries, just cards, a cup, and a ball. —description from the designer
