Football card dice game
Back in the 1970s I had a football card game. It consisted of 27 cards. The idea was to deal a card to each player alternately, and each card had a player number (7 to 11) representing the forwards. Each card had an instruction, such as 'throw a 6 to score' or 'throw an even number to score'. All you had to do was throw the dice, and if you threw the required number you scored. Can't remember what it was called though - can anyone help?

A football game, from an old soccer annual
In 1970, I came a cross an old football annual. Cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. The inside back page (2 sides) were a game. Similar to Pokkit Soccer in layout, and played similar to Top Dice Soccer. The pitch was made up of approximately 140 (10x14) small dice sized squares. The shaded penalty area was 6x3??? The differences to the above two games, being that each square was represented by the number of a dice. Game started and depending on the number dice that you threw, you moved the counter onto the next square accordingly. Sometims, this meant a sideways, or even back-pass depending on the number in the adjacent square. You only moved the counter one square at a time. Players threw alternately, until you reached a shaded penalty area. If a player moved into this area, he gained another shot, and if he threw a six, or the number of the square he was on, he scored. My memory of the games title, was "Spot Soccer". But I've searched numerous book shops but to no avail. Anybody with any ideas, please contact me.

Hi Malcolm - Re. 'Spot Soccer'. I'm sure you may already have had a reply to your query, but here's another.

I am looking at a game called 'Spot Football' now. On both the back 2 cover pages and front 2 cover pages of 'The Boys Book of Soccer' for 1950 by Evans Brothers. Board size 11 X 15 squares. Shaded penalty area 5 X 3 squares plus 3 more in the goalmouth. All in green and white. I'd guess this is the one you are thinking of. The book is quite easy to buy on most book search sites. Hope this helps. P.

Thank You !

I've really enjoyed a trip down memory lane looking at the games on this wodnerful site .

I wonder if you can help me ?

I'm looking for the name of a simple soccer board game that one of my friends had circa 1958 and I can't for the life of me remember it's name .

Until I found this site I could have sworn it was called SHOOT , but I can now see my memory is playing games with me !

The board had 22 circles denoting the players with ( from memory ) mainly diagonal lines connecting the players , alongside which were the numbers 1 to 6 .

A counter represented the ball and a standard dice was thrown alternately by the opposing players ( or even by a single player ) and " the ball " was moved along whichever line corresponded to the number thrown .

As I recall only a stiker could score a goal ( or perhaps 2 or 2 strikers ) by throwing a 6 from that player's circle .

Any idea ?

If so PLEASE e - mail me !

Thank You ,

Ken

Hi Ken,

I am sure the game is called Footballo - you can look it up on this site. It may also be Top Dice Soccer which is played in a similar way - this game is also on the site.
