Time Vault Soccer: Football card game

Defy the tyranny of modern football #DTTOMF

Time Vault Soccer is the definitive celebration of the great, good and interesting from soccer through the decades. It’s football with time machines… cards, shouting, knee slides and sulking.

It’s got magic but absolutely no unicorns… because it’s a football game.

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

Time Vault Soccer is a football card game in which two Bosses (You’re one) each assemble a squad of 16 players with special skills and abilities. You combine your players in unique ways to perform bespoke moves and strategically outwit your opponents in a game of football. As a living card game you choose your squads from an ever growing pool of real players from the 1950’s to the 1990’s.

Whether you’re having fun at the kitchen table, playing a high-stakes league and cup format in the pub, or upstairs on your bed sulking because your master plan turned to custard… which it will, because it’s football… there’s a place for you here.

Family friendly (8+), suits any gaming occasion for 2 players or multiple players in a cup, league or tournament format, fast paced, plays in 20-30 minutes and is super easy to learn… but a devil to master.

A little more on the gameplay…

Bosses take alternate turns to build and then trigger attacking and defending moves whilst special skills enable you to break the rules, enhance your moves and disrupt your opponent.

There are no restrictions placed on formations or style of play. You decide who is in your team and how your team will play. You can build your team around Bobby Moore (Inspirational Skill), Jimmy Greaves (On Fire Skill), Pele (Thunderbolt Shot Skill) or go all disruptor and throw in Tony Adams (Offside Specialist Skill) to frustrate your opponent… or blend them all together.
