FUBA

About this board game

FUBA is a tactical football simulation for 2 players, with a listed play time of 90 minutes. It puts you in the role of head coach, challenging you to shape your team’s strategy and make the key decisions that can determine the result.

Choose the formation that best fits your plan. A 4-5-1 can help you control the midfield, while a 4-4-2 gives you two strikers to pursue the win. The choice is yours, and your selected tactics influence how both players move their teams after each action.

FUBA is played in turns, with an average of 23 turns in each half. The player controlling the ball chooses the action their team will attempt, then both players roll the dice to determine the outcome. Once the result is known, both teams move according to their chosen tactics.

• Tactical decision-making: Select a formation and manage your team from the coach’s perspective.
• Dice-driven outcomes: Both players roll to resolve the action involving the ball.
• Changing match conditions: Random events can include yellow or red cards.
• Flexible play: The rubber board makes the game suitable for outdoor play as well.

Designed to capture the world’s number one sport from a tactical viewpoint, FUBA combines strategic choices with the uncertainty of dice. Although a real football match takes longer, the game’s description states that it can be resolved in less than an hour, keeping the action focused and fast-paced.

Whether you want to dominate the midfield or commit to an attacking setup, FUBA gives you the responsibility of choosing the approach and responding to the result on the pitch.
