League Championship társasjáték

Angol leírás

League Championship is a game for 2-6 players that simulates an entire season of the English Football League Championship. It dates from the 1970s and has versions endorsed by footballers George Best and Gordon Banks.

During setup, each player is dealt a face-down stack of action cards which will be used during the game, and a miniature silver plastic trophy is placed on prominent display in the centre of the game's circular board.

Players then, in turn, simulate fixtures by rolling a blue die for the home team and a green die for the away team, followed by turning over an action card which modifies the dice rolls in favour of either team. Examples of action cards are "Work out new corner kick - score 2 more goals" and "Recent Cup commitments in Europe weaken team - lose 1 goal in this match". The result of the match is thus determined with players scoring two points for a win, one for a draw and nothing for a loss.

A player's team's progress is tracked by use of two tokens - a small pawn on a score track to show the current points total and a footballer figure on a calendar track to mark the number of fixtures played. At the end of the season, the player whose team has accumulated the most points wins the league championship, and of course the trophy!
