About the game
Carta Fútbol Club is a quick card game, in which two teams of up to three players each must alternatively play cards, trying to score a goal. Each can be played either as an offensive play or as a defensive one (two different numeric values in the same card). If a team plays at least three offensive cards in a row without the defensive team being able to stop it (by playing a card with higher value than the offensive one), they can (if they have the proper card) shoot and score a goal. There are also special cards that can modify the game (like fouls, great plays, etc.). The game is divided in two halves, ending when a player runs out of cards.

Questions and answers
Carta Fútbol Club supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Carta Fútbol Club 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.
The catalogue lists Carta Fútbol Club for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Carta Fútbol Club has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
