90° is a board game released in 2008 for 2 players and 30 minutes per game. It was designed by Davide Sandrin and Cristiano Cardin and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Dice Rolling, and Simultaneous Action Selection.
A football (soccer) card game that simulates the highlight actions of a match. Contents of the game: 112 cards, 4 dice, 4 scheme markers (white) and 2 card-cancelling markers (orange). Each card represents a player’s motion in attack (red) and in defence (blue), except for the goalkeeper, who only has a catch motion plus special cards. Each coach chooses the scheme to be used and draws 11 cards for that specific scheme (Ex. 4-4-2). The ball handler plays a card and at the same time his opponent also plays a card. If the ball handler is playing with a defender, the opponent should contrast it with a forward card, likewise, if a midfielder is playing, the opponent should also play with a midfielder. The ball handler should always pass the ball to a player in a more forward, adjacent section. Only one back-pass is allowed during each action. If the player still has the ball after playing an attack card, he may attempt to score a goal. Roll as many dice as the value of the bonuses accumulated during the action, minus the value for the goalkeeper. Some special cards may be used to have an extra benefit in some cases. Rules are in Italian, English and German languages. [email protected] for info
90° supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for 90° is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
90° has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
