UND1C1 is the ultimate soccer board game. Be the coach, choose the strategy and bring your team to victory!
Check on Kickstarter
We are three friends who love soccer and board games. We’ve been looking for years for an entertaining, realistic, and fast-paced soccer simulator. Surprisingly enough, we couldn’t find any. Therefore, we decided we would create that very game ourselves.
Welcome to the world of UND1C1, the last soccer board game you’ll ever need!
UND1C1 is a board game for two players, each acting as the coach of a soccer team.
– Each coach controls 11 player chips and a deck of cards.
– One game lasts 45-60 minutes approximately and is composed of 20 turns.
– At each turn, coaches can carry out up to 3 actions, and play up to 3 cards.
You’ll need a cunning strategy to outsmart your opponent and secure the victory.
Are you ready Coach? This is your time to shine!
NOTE: for the time being, the UND1C1 Kickstarter edition is available in English 🇬🇧 and in Italian 🇮🇹 only. Other languages will be considered for production, if a sufficient number of backers will make request for the game to be produced in other languages.
Here is a brief video of the UND1C1 prototype unboxing. You’ll see, it features a number of extra teams, beside the standard Team White and Team Black.
You’ll also be able to add extra teams and cards to your copy, after selecting your preferred pledge option. Scroll down to the ADD-ONS section for details on this!
UND1C1 has been designed to be a long-lasting product, featuring premium components and top-notch materials. We firmly believe that a game that plays beautifully, should look beautiful too. We truly hope you like it, Coach!
We’ve done our best to put together a realistic and exciting game, within the simplest possible set of rules. We wanted UND1C1 to represent soccer as faithfully as feasible: few, easy-to-learn rules providing for great fun and unpredictability.
That was not an easy job at all. But somebody had to do it. And so we did it.
Wanna get into details? Sit back and watch our video-tutorial. It will teach you everything you need to know, in 13 minutes only!
Now that you understood how it works, it’s time to move forward, Coach. So let’s take a closer look together at the key game components: pitch, player chips and strategy cards. You might want get familiar with these items, as the secret for success lies within each one of them.
Roll it up, Coach!
UND1C1 pitch is realised in sublimated neoprene, for a unique, poker- inspired haptic feel. This material also provides for great portability: roll your pitch up, pack it and lay it down in seconds. Get ready to play anytime, anywhere!
Dissecting the pitch
While player chips can move around the pitch in any direction (by one or two boxes at a time), actions like shooting, crossing and hitting a header can only be performed from specific “action boxes”.
Passing quadrants (groups of 4 boxes of the same color), are used to determine the distance (and hence, the difficulty) of passes and crosses.
Coloured segments at the edge of the field (red for defenders, yellow for midfielders, green for strikers) guide coaches on where to place their starting XI at the beginning of each match, depending on each player’s preferred position.
In UND1C1, each player is represented by a round chip. Each chip displays the player’s name and kit number, as well as his preferred position and special abilities.
In the core box, you’ll find two teams: Team White and Team Black. Eternal rivals fighting for timeless glory. Which side will you take?
Team White
Team White typically plays with a 4-3-3 module, and its strategy is centred on supporting its central striker, Daniel Agatti. A fierce, powerful goleador, El Perro knows how to score in all possible ways. Villabas and Suarez are the loose cannons of the team, creating dangers on the wings with their speed and unpredictable plays. Frankie “Fix” Tulipano is the team’s artist, Ettori its metronome. In the back, sergeant Tomkeen commands the defense with the charm of a wise, experienced leader.
Team Black
Team Black’s is a muscular ensemble, typically playing with a 3-5-2 system. The captain of the team is Valley, rock solid central central back, nicknamed The Octopus. Jasik is a visionary left defender, with quite a well-mannered left foot. But the stars of the team play in the front: #10 Millantas is the Portuguese genius, good at passing, great at dribbling, awesome at shooting from outside the box; #9 Castillo, aka ‘a Cobra is the Brazilian central forward every team would pay a fortune for: fast, talented and poisonous, he is the all time record scorer of the Club.
Special abilities
Special abilities are one of the most iconic features in UND1C1. There are eleven in total – eight colorful and three white.
White abilities give players extra speed, extra stamina or extra strength. For example, players with a white Tractor can make one extra movement at the end of each turn.
Colored abilities give a bonus on dice rolls: for example, a green Cannon gives a +1 when shooting on goal from far away.
The best players in the game have black abilities too, giving you a +2 bonus on dice rolls (e.g.: Black Archer ability gives a +2 bonus every time that player attempts to cross).
You’ll have to mix and master all special abilities, if you wish to become the best manager around.
Collect them all!
The UND1C1 Kickstarter edition includes Team White and Team Black, providing for tons of fun already. But if you wish, you can add up to 12 extra teams to your pledge. Scroll down to the ADD-ONS section to learn more!
Strategy cards are an extremely powerful weapon and ally to all Coaches. If used wisely, they can change the course of a whole game. They’ll make your attacks more effective, inhibit your opponent’s strategy, boost your team’s skills… and much more!
How to use them
Coaches are allowed to play a maximum of three cards during their turn. They begin the match without cards in their hands, but they draw one at the end of each turn.
Cards differ one from another by color, effects and duration.
Perfecting your match-day deck
Although the Kickstarter edition of UND1C1 includes two decks of 30 cards each, coaches are only allowed to keep a maximum of 20 cards in their match-day deck. The rulebook suggests to randomly select 20 cards to compose your deck the first times you play, before every match.
But once you get to know and master these cards cards, you’ll want to select them personally, to adapt your match-day to your personal taste and style of play – as well as to your players skills. The quest to the optimal match-day deck might be long and intricate: mix, experiment, perfect. The options are infinite!
Expand your deck!
Backers are given the chance to expand their range of choice when it comes to customising their deck, by adding extra strategy cards. Check out the ADD-ONS section below for more details. There’s a whole world of cards waiting for you out there!
