Columbia Games has announced the reprint of the classic hockey card game, Slapshot, is at the printers and should be available for purchase in mid to late February.
Slapshot is a wheeling, dealing game for hockey fans. Each player assumes the role of team manager. The object is to skillfully manage your team into the playoffs and then win the championship. During the regular season you can improve your team with drafts and trades, but injuries can upset the best of plans. Ultimately, your skill as manager determines if your team wins or loses.
Slapshot includes 54 zany hockey nuts like Slash Gordon, Puck Rogers, Ian Jury, Cheap Shot, Le Goon, and Jack the Tripper.
Slapshot is fast, furious, fun, and simple to play. Lace up your skates and checkout the game celebrated as the closing game each year at the World Boargame Championships.
Slapshot was originally published in 1975 under the name Team by Gamma Two Games. The game was designed by Tom Dalgliesh, Lance Gutteridge, Ron Gibson, John Gordon. Slapshot has been printed under license several times since.
Slapshot will retail for $20.00
