SOCCER TACTICS WORLD EDITION BOARD GAME CODE

I’m part of a huge group of people who enjoy sport manager games on the computer. Which begs the question – what do you do for the rest of the time? Football manager The matches, for example, only make up a small part of the game. Eleven has shown me that it is possible to make a good game based around a sport, as long as it doesn’t try to directly mimic the sport itself, which Eleven doesn’t. The idea of a sport in board game form has never really appealed to me, especially something as prone to chaos, and not stat-driven as football (or soccer, if you’re across the Atlantic).

It may just surprise you.Ī review code for this product was kindly provided by the publisher. If the cost doesn’t put you off or you wait for a sale though and like me you love football but have very little experience with turn based gameplay I do suggest checking it out. Unfortunately the steep £34.99 barrier to entry will stop many from sampling it. If you love football and turn based combat with a sprinkling of management, you’re going to love this game. The grind comes from having to win all the various tournaments.įootball, Tactics and Glory is a fun game, but a niche concept. There are plenty of gameplay related requirements from scoring five goals in various unique ways and scoring a penalty to management milestones such as selling a player for over a million dollars and buying one for over five million. The game comes packing a platinum trophy, but you will have to grind to get it. It would have been easy for the developers to treat this as an afterthought given the board game nature of the gameplay, but while there isn’t much variation having only one animation for each action, they are fluid and crisp which makes it fun to watch the match unfold before you. I liked the art style employed in Football, Tactics and Glory. Personally I would recommend creating a team, kits etc to personalise you’re experience. Instead you choose which country you would like your game to be based in, then you can play as one of the stock teams or create your own. I appreciated the Football Manager light systems here and it allowed you to invest in your team more.ĭeveloped by small studio Creoteam, it should be no surprise that the game lacks any sort of official licensing. You are the manager of the club and therefore will be training your players to improve their stats, buying and selling players, improving your training facilities and stadium capacity to bring more money in. The game doesn’t just consist of what happens on the pitch either. While this does introduce some luck into the equation, the skill comes from getting your players in the best possible position to succeed. The higher a number you ‘roll’ the more chance of success in whatever the given action is. When performing an action the game takes the players stat in that department and rolls a number between 1 and whatever that number is. This allows the game to feel very tactical while also moving at a decent enough pace to keep all parties entertained.Įach player has four stats accuracy, passing, defence and control. Each turn consists of a moving a player, passing, taking a shot, tackling a player or shielding the ball. You get three plays before agency is turned over to your opponent to do the same. As I said gameplay in-match is turn based.
