Counter Attack: The Football Strategy Game Arrives This Spring

Mar 31, 2021

An interesting looking soccer game from Gigamic Games is coming to North America this Spring. Counter Attack: The Football Strategy Game, designed by Colin Webster, brings all the action of the pitch to your tabletop. The game is for two players, ages 14+, plays in around 90 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of around $49.99 when it arrives in Q2.

About the game:

Counter Attack is a football (soccer) strategy game which lasts 90 minutes. The two players (‘managers’) each control a team of 11 players. Every player has a unique set of skills that the managers try to best utilize during play. Managers control how the players move, pass, dribble, tackle, and shoot.

Duels between players on the pitch – whether tackles, shots, or headers – are determined by a combination of the unique player skills plus a dice roll. During movement phases, a sand timer is used to keep the pace of the game up.

Counter Attack features everything you’d expect in a game of football, from corners to free kicks, penalties to red cards and injuries.
