I have plans to play FUBA tomorrow with @jrtracy, and I'm more than a little excited to return to this high-level strategy game of futbol.

@silentdibs @jrtracy Intrigued. Whos does it play? Cards? I see dice.
@Kwebec @jrtracy
With the caveat that I played this back in 2015, and the rules are now on v3... in general, pieces represent concentration and not specific players. The round die represents how in-control the attackers are (1 = perfect, 6 = very vulnerable to losing the ball). You can pass or dribble to other areas on the field and try to retain control based on relative strengths, then attempt shots on goal. There's an event table and some conditioning rules but that's mostly it. /cont'd
@Kwebec @jrtracy
You determine basic formation and where to focus and press. No cards (really) so resolution is always die rolls. I like tactical games for sports, but I also like this high-level scale which moves along pretty smartly. Publisher is in Finland: https://upgames.fi/home/fuba-tactical-football-game/

@silentdibs @jrtracy Looks cool. I'm still longuing for th eultimate soccer game.
@Kwebec @silentdibs @jrtracy What are some of the other options for futbol/soccer board games?
@zmunson @silentdibs @jrtracy I would be in my great candeur for a game based on stats. Such and Statis Pro, PLAAY, Strato, etc.
@Kwebec @zmunson @jrtracy
There is a PLAAY futbol game, it looked pretty good when I scouted in a few years back.
@silentdibs @zmunson @jrtracy Then I should look this up. I see their latest big thing was a Tennis game. Thanks Scott
SOCCER BLAST Pro Soccer Game

SOCCER BLAST is a fun, easy-to-play board game simulation of real-life pro soccer. The abilities and tendencies of real-life soccer players and teams are captured on individual cards, activated by ordinary six-sided dice and simple-to-read graphic charts.

@zmunson @Kwebec @silentdibs @jrtracy There’s Counter Attack that came out fairly recently. I picked up a copy after watching some fun-looking playthrough vids. Haven’t gotten it to the table yet though.
