Description

Go Forward Rugby is a fun and strategic board game that's all about the thrill of the sport. Designed by Andrew Muhling and first published in 2004, this game is easy to learn and can be played by two players in about 60 minutes. The game mechanics are clever, using a combination of area movement, campaign and battle card-driven gameplay, dice rolling, and memory to keep things exciting. The rack and card system is a key part of the game, allowing players to influence the action on the field and try to outmaneuver their opponent. As players take turns, they use cards to represent their players on the field and special actions they can take, all while trying to remember what their opponent has in store. The rack slides up and down the field, showing where the play is currently happening, and if it moves past the try line, a try is scored. The memory component adds a fun layer of strategy, as players need to keep track of what their opponent is doing without knowing exactly which players they have. With its simple yet engaging gameplay, Go Forward Rugby is a great choice for fans of abstract strategy, memory games, and sports games alike.
