Match Day: The Tabletop Football Game

A complete tabletop football game in one 81-page book. Three stats per team, ordinary dice and a pen, and a full match result in minutes.

Match Day is a football (soccer) simulation for one or two players. Rate any team from any league or any era with three numbers - Attack, Defence and a Close Game Factor - then roll the dice and play out a result that behaves like real football: form holds, upsets happen, and tight games go down to the final minutes.

No board, no cards, no counters. Three ordinary six-sided dice, a pen, and this book.

FOUR ENGINES IN ONE BOOK

 Book One - Quick Play: a three-step match resolution system. A full result in under five minutes, built for season replays, cup runs and historic what-ifs.
 Book Two - Cup Play: knockout football - ties, shocks and giant-killings.
 Book Three - Long Play: the deeper engine for when one match deserves a whole evening.
 Book Four - Fictional Leagues: build clubs, leagues and entire football worlds of your own.

PLUS TWO COMPLETE SETS TO PLAY

 Booster Pack 01 - The Coastal Premier: a complete fictional league with managers, rivalries and fixtures. Open the book and kick off.
 Premier League 2024-25: all 20 clubs rated, with fixtures and a league sheet - and the rating method means you can build any league yourself, from the 1970 World Cup to your local Sunday league.

MADE FOR SOLO PLAY Every engine runs cleanly solo. Replay a season over a week of evenings, run a cup over a weekend, or manage one club through a campaign while the dice run the rest of the league.
