The Beautiful Game is a soccer replay game that simulates the highlights of a soccer match.
Each game played simulates goal chances of the teams during a match by using statistical team ratings and dice rolls. The player can play a single match, or with multiple games, simulate an entire league season. Many expansion sets of additional leagues and championships are available separately.
The basic game is simple and short (usually under 5 minutes), only determining if goals have been scored during the match by using the two teams' attack and defense ratings, chance cards, and a die rolls to see if a goal was scored. Additional rules add the ability to identify scoring players and the time of the goal, and noting injuries and suspensions of players.
