Wembley Board Game
Wembley built for the British Empire Exhibition of 1924 and initially known as the Empire Stadium became the icon for the F.A. Cup. Designed by Sir John Simpson and Maxwell Ayrton it was built in 300 days and completed only four days before the famous 1923 ‘White Horse’ FA Cup Final between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United. Pelé described Wembley as ‘the cathedral of football’. In 2003 the stadium, including its iconic two towers was demolished and replaced by the new Wembley Stadium. However, this retro board game pays homage to that famous home of football and the 100th F.A. Cup, but does your team have what it takes to walk the road to Wembley?
Gameplay starts at the crucial third round, when only 32 teams are left in the competition. Once the team cards have been drawn, it’s down to you to manage your teams to the top. Will you invest your hard earned cash in star players? Or hope the odds are in your favour when you roll the cleverly weighted dice?
As the game progresses, players must turn the Draw Cards to reveal which teams are going head to head. The dice are then rolled to find out who will claim the gate receipts and stay in the competition. When there are only two teams left, it’s time to take your places at Wembley for the final match! Great family fun with a perfect retro twist! A perfect gift for football fans!
