by

If you have Amazon Kindle Unlimited, you can get a free copy of the Striker Soccer/Football Miniatures rules. From the description:

Striker!’ is a set of easy-to-understand rules for playing incredibly realistic miniature soccer / football matches on a tabletop. Each match plays just like a wargame, using Subbuteo sized figures or cardboard markers to represent players, and a couple of dice.

‘Striker’ can be enjoyed by two players, groups of players or completely solo! All you need to experience the game is a table. Fans of Subbuteo already have almost everything needed to enjoy ‘Striker!’ tabletop soccer / football.

If you’ve ever wanted to capture all the thrills and tactics of the real game, the ‘Striker!’ set of easy-to-understand rules are the perfect answer. The rules are so realistic, and so true to the game, they can also be used by every soccer / football coach as a powerful grassroots teaching tool.

Written and created by an experienced football coach (and an experienced wargamer) these rules let you enjoy the thrill of every big match… in your home… in miniature! The ‘Striker!’ rulebook has been deliberately low-priced to make it affordable to every fan that plays soccer / football, coaches, or simply loves the game.
