Medieval Football (Soccer) as it Really Was!
(… or how we imagined it might have been)
This page is about a rules set based on David Bezio’s Bum series which are a tried and true mechanic to deliver fun skirmish scale games. The stars of these particular variation of the rules are David Wood’s MedBall teams… They are a charming bunch of rough louts pushing and shoving their way to victory (and possibly some actual backstabbing as well). With possibly armed players, the peasant crowd throwing cabbages, and wandering sheep for goal posts, what could go wrong.
Playtesting is underway on the Draft #1 version. You can join in the review and playtesting. Simply get your copy of the rules here and Player Character cards here. (Note that the rules are not currently formatted to print, and the cards are only formatted for 8.5×11 paper, so some adjustments will be needed if you want a hard copy.) Then once you’ve looked it over and/or have done some playtesting, send us your feedback here. Check back to stay informed things progress!
You can check out the figures at either of the below, based on which is closer to you: U.K. or U.S.
