SUBBUTEO TEAM EDITION

Fun concept for a game very intuitive.

Childhood British game, bought for American kids.They loved it !

THIS IS JUST AMAZING ! I KNOW THIS IS ACTUALLY A FAMOUS TABLE GAME, BUT I USE IT AS A COACHING LESSON FOR MY 8 AND 9 YEAR OLD SOCCER TEAMS ! LEARNING DIFFERENT FORMATIONS AND WHAT ARE THE POSITIONS !! KIDS LOVE THE LARGE GREEN SURFACE AND COOL SOCCER FIGURES, SO,,IT JUST MAKES THEM SIT AND LISTEN WITH EXCITEMENT ! THIS IS GREAT FOR ALL COACHES FOR YOUTH LEVEL !! I LOVE IT !

As anyone who has played table football (Subuteo or the German variant, TipKick) knows, the felt fields, out of the box, make gameplay hard as heck because of the creases and un-evenness of the play field. So finding a way to keep the field flat is paramount to useful play. There are websites out there that describe good solutions. One could clamp the field or glue the field to a solid board, etc. Let others guide you on that.The biggest issue I had, beyond that, was that the pieces are NOT ready to play with. The player bottoms are not smooth. They have little bits left on from manufacturing, small sharp specks, that catch on the field, and prevent the player from being flicked well. The players are always rolling over and not doing what they should.So, to use the game you need to:1) Secure the field on a solid surface to get all the wrinkles and folds out (remember , DONT IRON THE FIELD)2) Get a buffing wheel from a motorized tool and at a slow speed with a polishing buffer attachment, polish the player bottoms to make sure the sharp bits are all smooth so the players will SLIDE on the field.Additionally, the rules have some vagaries, but those are resolved with other websites like Board Game Geek.

Got this a while ago. We bought a wood board and stapled it down. The base is velvet and well made. It comes with players, goals and a ball. Its just like the one my husband had when he was little. It's great family fun time.

Great classic game that hardens back to a time when video games were few and far between. Fun for football fans of all ages. For those geeks like me out there there's plenty of add one like your favourite team, stands etc

Great game, but game box arrived beaten up. Box it was mailed in was still in excellent condition so this means the seller sent a badly boxed game. This was meant to be a keepsake for my husband but the box really is all torn up. All pieces arrived so I guess that’s a good thing.

Offside is often a difficult concept and this visual is needed to demonstrate the Law for large groups on an easel with felt markers instead of the players provided or for small groups flat on a table and have the students move the players.Love this one!
