Basketboss

About this board game

Basketboss is a 2022 auction game for 2–5 players, with each game taking about 40 minutes. Players take on the role of professional basketball team managers, competing to build a dream lineup while money is tight and the competition is fierce.

Each season, your central challenge is to offer the best contracts to players at auction. Securing basketball superstars can give your team a powerful lineup, but successful management involves more than simply pursuing the biggest names. You must also handle the broader complexities of running a professional basketball team.

Team advisors add another important choice to your plans. These advisors provide special powers that can dramatically improve your lineup when used properly, giving you additional ways to strengthen your team and respond to the challenges of the season.

• Auction basketball players and offer contracts.
• Manage the limited money available to your team.
• Hire advisors with special powers.
• Use the Physical Therapist to help avoid crippling injuries.

The Physical Therapist is one example of how an advisor can influence your team. Choosing the right support and using its ability effectively may help protect the lineup you have worked hard to assemble.

Basketboss asks whether your management decisions can produce a roster stacked with Hall of Famers and fill your shelves with gleaming trophies. With its focus on auctions, contracts, money management, and advisor abilities, it brings the pressure of building a professional basketball team to the tabletop.
