Figure I'll be one of the first.
So...I saw this come up a couple days ago and thought "ah cool a soccer game I'll check it out". After playing a few rounds this I rate it a "Meh"
The reason I rate it that way is the game is too random in play, in that your fate is primarily based on the rolls of the D20. This does mean it has a bit of simulation flavor to it...but the way of the dice really throws any sort of strategy out the window. For example: in the first game, I had 14 shots, but only scored once, and that score was off a corner kick, which is simply an additional die roll from a shot result. Also for someting that is trying to be Simulator, the rate of Yellow Cards is insane. All and all...Meh. A neat idea but way too random to be fun.
BGA UI wise, I think the setup is pretty nice, though it would be nice if it auto skipped if a player couldn't defend, as that is alot of needless clicking.
