Check on Kickstarter
Run an amateur football club in this strategy board game full of brutal banter, wild transfer battles and shady tactics.
Draft local legends with colorful backstories, outbid rivals, sabotage friends and build the best possible squad of glorious nobodies.
Choose your club philosophy, pick your staff, take a few hundred bucks from your local sponsor and let the mind games begin. In ruthless auctions, you’ll chase transfer targets to build the ultimate beer-league squad. It’s not about millionaires. It’s about regular lads, leaky showers and pub renovations.
Sunday Manager always feels like a real football battle. It is an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. One moment you’re faking interest to land the bargain of the season, the next you’re rage-buying a backup striker just to keep your hopes alive. The game feeds on sharp interactions, constant twists and fierce rivalry.
Every round is driven by tactical dilemmas: which player to bid for, what goals to chase, how to handle tight budgets, when to upgrade those clumsy misfits, and who to sabotage. Every move is under your control, no luck involved.
That feeling when your no-name underdog becomes the MVP and beats the odds? Priceless. Missed the star player in the auction? Master the training instead. Even your benchwarmer can score a bicycle-kick in his new boots and steal the win. Of course, nothing is guaranteed.
- Variable: Over 2,000 unique starting setups.
- Balanced: 9 different ways to score points.
- Tense: Winner stays hidden until the final whistle.
- Story-driven: No locker room feels the same twice.
- Addictive: There’s always a next season. Rematch?
Sunday Manager is not about signings worth milions. It’s about ordinary heroes with extraordinary backstories. Their unique personalities will turn your squad into a crew you’ll remember long after the game. Every player comes with his own absurd backstory: from local legends and hot-headed veterans chasing redemption to unproven kids with big boots to fill.

“Soon you’ll know, there’s no guaranteed recipe for victory. And that’s the beauty of it.”
Bidding turns are pure adrenaline. Put on your poker face for a tactical showdown packed with bluffs, rage-bids, and unpredictable twists. This is where you win legends, lose money on foolish overspends, and feel your heartbeat race in overthinking.
That feeling when your beer-belly zero turns into a hero is priceless. The beauty of Sunday Manager is that even your benchwarmer can beat the odds. A new pair of boots, an extra skill, and he can surprise the league and steal the win.
Playing your own game is rarely enough. You’ll always need to watch your back and sabotage the right opponents. Nothing feels better than stealing their boots, blocking a transfer with well-timed injury card or flooding their pitch with an overflowing septic.
Tension stays alive until the very last seconds. That is one of the game’s most beautiful features. Standings remain unclear and the winner is revealed when managers uncover their secret objectives. Nine different ways to score, balanced to perfection.
