Millionen von Schwalben is a (fairly satirical) soccer-themed game. Each player manages several soccer teams in a world championship tournament, trying to become rich. Matches are played with cards and die rolling, and different teams have different abilities. The action and country cards allude to many real-life events in soccer.

The game also contains 54 soccer-themed cards for Game: Anno Domini published independently as Anno Domini: Fussball WM.
