Next England Captain (2015)

Fight to create the best career in the mad world of football! Use cards to build your stories and triumph in this quickfire game.

Next England Captain is a two to four player card game that faithfully models the career of a modern footballer; a challenge for everyone who's ever failed to earn millions by kicking things really well.

Welcome to a world where your celebrity wife matters more than the club you play for, but only if you have the right promo deals. It's a world where your status in the squad matters - but not very much - and where retirement is just another opportunity. Here, becoming England Captain has less to do with your footballing ability and more to do with whether you’re married with kids.

Starting with nothing, you gain points as you move to bigger clubs, increasing your on-field stature, sponsorship, and your off-field respect. Careers may go down as well as up - so you won't have it all your own way - but capping it all off with a wise retirement can make all the difference. The winner is the player with the most points at the end of the game.
