Football: Play It Again

The word that kept coming to mind while playing this game was "edit." The rulebook needs editing, the components need editing, and the game system needs editing.

The rulebook and components can be fixed. But the game itself has too many systems and subsystems that don't add any fun. I kept finding myself rolling on a chart, which sent me to another chart, which sent me to another, and another. For a game that's meant to play quickly, it always seemed to be bogging down.

I enjoy Dice United and Soccer Blast as quick soccer simulations. Football: Play It Again is similar, but I have much more fun playing Dice United or Soccer Blast. However, Football: Play It Again is inexpensive enough that I don't regret giving it a try.
