  • Figure 1 1 shows an example of a box swap where the blue team may swap the box of its defender (D) with that of the opponent team striker (A), using three moves.
  • the football board game according to the invention also envisages rules for marking in various playing situations such as in particular pass marking, header marking and double marking.
  • pass marking whenever a player wishes to pass the ball he must consider whether the team mate intended to receive the pass is marked by opponent players; marking actions influence the probability of success of a pass.
  • the player intended to receive the pass is said to be "pass marked" when one or more opponents are present in the boxes adjacent to the box occupied by said player: each of these results in a penalty point added to the SP parameter of the player passing the ball.
  • Marking actions are ineffective in the case of passes between players situated in boxes adjacent to each other.
  • Figure 12 shows examples of pass marking: (I) striker (A) marked (-3 penalty points added to the SP value of the passing player); (II) striker (A) unmarked (no penalty points added to the SP value of the passing player); (III) striker (A) marked (-4 penalty points added to the SP value of the passing player; (IV) the striker (A) is marked by four opponents, but the marking is ineffective (pass between adjacent boxes).
  • header marking whenever a player wishes to cross the ball or must cross the ball from a free kick or a corner, he must consider whether the player intended to receive the crosses is marked by an opponent; if this so, there will be an aerial challenge with the opponent in an attempt to win the ball; otherwise the heading player will be able to head the ball unchallenged.
  • a player is marked when the ball is crossed during play or from a free kick or corner if an opponent is positioned in the header box situated in front of or behind the player.
  • each half of the playing field and in particular in the penalty area, there may be pairs of boxes situated opposite each other with symbols of the same color representing heading players, with the symbols of each pair having a color different from the symbols of any other pair, and it may be envisaged that the only way of marking a heading player situated in a box with a symbol of a given color is that of positioning a heading player on the other box with the symbol of the same color.
  • Figure 13 shows examples of header marking: in (I) the striker (A) is unmarked for the corner kick (no opponent situated in the box in front of him with the same colored symbol); in (II) the striker (A) is unmarked for the cross (no opponent in the box behind him with the same colored symbol); in (III) the strikers (A) on the first and second posts are marked for the corner kick, while the player positioned in the center of the area is unmarked (no opponent in the box in front of him with the same colored symbol) .
  • the pieces may be positioned or moved on the field only at the end of each game turn. As shown in the example of Figure 14, two players must be at a maximum distance of one box from each other. A double marking performed by two players of the same team prevents an opponent from passing with the ball at his feet between them or from receiving the ball when positioned in the box which separates them.
  • Figure 14 shows examples of how to use double marking: (I) The striker (A) is unable, while in possession of the ball, to move into the box which separates the two defenders; (II) the midfield player (C) cannot pass the ball to the striker (A); (III) the striker (A) cannot pass beyond the two defenders in order to reach the shooting box +3. If a player intends with the ball at his feet to break a double marking formed by two opponents he must necessarily dribble either one of the two opponents in question (see dribbling section). If the defending team, at the end of their turn, places a double marking in a box where an opponent with the ball is positioned, the latter must dribble or pass the ball.
  • Each team may have the possibility of using for example two double markings at the start of each match.
  • the football board game according to the invention also envisages rules for repositioning players in various dead ball situations which typically occur in a football match, such as in particular in the case of corners, free kicks, penalties or following scoring of a goal (in which case the teams are repositioned according to the formation prechosen from among those available, and the game is restarted with a kick-off taken by the team which conceded the goal).
  • the heading players will then occupy one, two or three of the heading boxes (depending on the FK value of the free-kick taker) which are marked with a predetermined symbol (for example "ATT") inside the opponent's penalty area (as can be seen in Figure 15). Should there be one or more undesirable opponent players in the heading boxes marked with the symbol (“ATT") the opponent must be asked to free the box(es) in question in order to make room for one's own heading player(s). The player piece(s) thus moved may be repositioned as desired on the playing field.
  • a predetermined symbol for example "ATT"
  • the defense chooses its heading players (1 to 3) and positions them on the heading boxes marked with a predetermined symbol (for example "DEF" as can be seen in Figure 15):
  • the defense in order to mark the attacking heading player positioned in one of the boxes intended for the attacking heading players (for example indicated by a symbol X of a certain color), the defense must position a heading player on the facing box, marked with the same symbol X having that same color). Once positioning of the heading players has been completed, the team which takes the corner may reposition up to three players as desired in any free box.
  • the defending team may reposition up to three players as desired in any of the free boxes.
  • Figure 15 shows examples of repositioning performed for a corner: (I) in the case of a corner-kick taker with an FK value 7.5 it is possible to position at the most one heading player on a striker heading box (ATT); (II) in the case of a corner-kick taker with an FK value 8.5 it is possible to position up to two heading players on two striker heading boxes (ATT); (III) in the case of a corner-kick taker with an FK value 9.5 it is possible to position up to three heading players on three striker heading boxes (ATT).
  • the defense may always choose how many heading players to position on the boxes "DEF").
  • the team which must take the free kick selects a player to take the free kick; the player who was fouled and is situated on the box where the free kick is to be taken must be moved onto the box occupied by the prechosen free-kick taker, exchanging positions with him. At this point the team taking the free kick may reposition up to three players as desired in any free box.
  • the team which make take the free kick selects a free-kick taker; the player who was fouled and is positioned on the box for taking the free kick must be moved onto the box occupied by the prechosen free-kick taker, exchanging positions with him.
  • the defense may choose whether to form a wall.
  • the wall may be made up of minimum of one to a maximum of four players.
  • the players who form the wall must be primarily strikers. If there is not a sufficient number of strikers to form the wall, then midfield players are used to complete it.
  • the players who form the wall must be positioned one alongside each other and the wall must be positioned inside the penalty area.
  • At least one player in the wall must be positioned on a box adjacent to that from where the free kick is taken.
  • the wall must always be positioned parallel to the end line (goal line).
  • the team which is attacking may reposition up to three players as desired in any free box.
  • the defense may reposition three players.
  • Figure 16 shows examples of repositioning for a free kick with shot: (I) four men in the wall (II) three men in the wall; (III) two men in the wall.
  • the team which make take the free kick selects a free-kick taker; the player who was fouled and is positioned on the free-kick box must be moved onto the box occupied by the prechosen free-kick taker, exchanging positions with him. At this point it is necessary to refer to the FK value of the prechosen free- kick taker in order to determine how many heading players the team taking the free kick may use to occupy the header boxes, as per the following rule:
