Why It's On The List
- It doesn't so much simulate soccer (like Pursue the Pennant attempts to simulate baseball)... instead, it uses a backgammon-ish mechanic to simulate the feel of a soccer game - and does so brilliantly.
Tips & Tricks:
- Like playing backgammon, winning at StreetSoccer is as much about the position you leave yourself in as well as pushing hard to score...
- And like backgammon, what appears initially to be a random dice game actually reveals itself to be a very tactical game of risk & probability.
Extras
- There are three different online PBEM versions of StreetSoccer... the one I used to play on (a lot!) was Little Golem.
- I'm hopeful that Portal Games' upcoming Eleven will fill in the management side of soccer in my collection. (Yes, I backed it.)
