This is a fast Soccer-Cardgame based on the German children's book and movie DIE WILDEN FUßBALLKERLE. The cartoon-like cards show teenagers in street clothes ready to play soccer. You try to make as much goals as possible by dueling one of your cards with one of the opponent's card. Action cards and special abilities further alter the outcome of each Duel.
Die wilden Fußballkerle 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 Die wilden Fußballkerle is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Die wilden Fußballkerle for ages 8 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.
