Description
Dreadball: KickOff is a high-energy sci-fi sports game that's all about speed and strategy. Designed by Jake Thornton, this game packs a punch, condensing the excitement of its parent game into a more introductory version. With a playtime of 90 minutes, you and your opponent will be fully immersed in the action, each taking turns to outmaneuver the other. The game takes place on a hex grid field, where you'll need to throw the ball into one of three score zones in your opponent's half to rack up points. As you play, you'll need to plan ahead and make the most of your five actions per turn, distributing them between your on-field figures to move, slam, steal, throw, pick up, or stand up. With a simple yet engaging ruleset, you'll be able to pick up the game quickly, even if you're new to board games. The goal is to score seven points or more, or have the highest score at the end of the 14-turn game. With its compact design and streamlined gameplay, Dreadball: KickOff is the perfect introduction to the world of Dreadball, and its normal complexity level makes it accessible to anyone familiar with board games.
