Description

A board game played by two players or two teams of players each controlling 13 footballers, who may carry, pass or kick the ball and aim to score points based on the international rules of rugby league. The player or team scoring the greater number of points in the allotted time is the winner.

"You can actually kick a goal, tackle, pass and play just like the real game. Test your football skill and outmanoeuvre the opposition. Learn to play like the professionals! An excellent coaching aid for young professionals."--Box

Contains game board marked in a grid pattern representing playing area (1 metre = 1 square), plastic player tokens; plastic goal posts, plastic markers to denote movement on the board; playing token representing the ball; play cards; 2 cent coin (for coin toss).

Players use the plastic rugby player pieces to physically kick the ball tiddly-wink style. If it hits another playing piece, the ball is his, otherwise a general play card is drawn. Players may choose to run, pass or kick the ball.

The designers' names are misspelt on the outside of the box as S. Sofas and G.D. Makin.
