Scout

Dossier

Scout is a tactical card game where players build their own football squad by managing transfers and completing hidden formations. Each player receives a secret formation card with two possible squad structures. Throughout the game, players reveal footballer cards and place them into the transfer market, or strategically acquire entire rows to strengthen their team. Timing and decision-making are key: Will you wait for better players to appear, or secure a row before your opponents take it? The first player to complete one of their hidden formations — with the exact number of goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and forwards — wins the game instantly. With simple rules and meaningful choices, Scout offers a clever mix of planning, risk-taking, and competition in a fast-paced football-themed experience. —description from the designer
