Die Wilden Kerle Tor

Duel in the Devil‘s Pot

Die Wilden Kerle defend their secret kickabout area, Teufelstopf, against the Unbesiegbaren Sieger.

Each player is given 13 number cards, on score card and two goalkeeper cards. The field is laid out and the score cards are placed underneath with value 0 visible at the edge. You shuffle your cards, stack them and draw seven cards for your hand.

In each turn, that is, for each duel, you play a card face-down from your hand and draw a card. Then both cards are revealed at the same time. In case two numbers were played the higher number wins and the winner moves the ball one step nearer to the opposing goal. When both cards are identical another duel is played as often as necessary until a decision is reached; the winner then moves the ball as many steps as cards were necessary to determine a winner. Cards are set aside after playing and cannot be looked at later. A goalie blocks every other card and another duel must be played. When the 5 is played, the lower card wins a duel. A 0 always wins against a 7 or a 5, but loses against all other cards. When you move the ball into the goal you have achieved a goal and mark it on your score card. The ball goes back to the kick-off point. When all 15 cards have been played, the first half ends and the cards are shuffled for the second half. You win with most goals after the second half, in case of a tie you play for a Golden Goal!

This is a fast game based on a well-known license topic; the rules are very simple and the simulation works very well; Non-soccer fans, too, will have fun to figure out how to best use a 0, a 5 or a 7!
