The World Cup Card Game 2010 IS NOW AVAILABLE AT £5.95 plus p&p, TO ORDER CLICK HERE

The WCCG is based on The World Cup Game using a similar system for deciding the matches but with a shorter playing time.
The WCCG has 64 cards divided into 32 Team cards and 32 Action cards. Each group match is played individually but this
takes seconds to resolve, then the KO stages are played in a similar way to the Board Game. A few sample cards are pictured here..

TO SEE A SAMPLE GAME, I HAVE CREATED A DETAILED DESCRIPTION IN 3 PARTS. DON'T BE ALARMED BY THE LENGTH OF THE DESCRIPTION, IT COVERS EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME BUT THE WHOLE GAME ITSELF CAN BE PLAYED IN AROUND 75 MINUTES. MINOR RULES CLARIFICATION: In the Semi-Finals and Final it is better to play through to the end of the draw deck and no further i.e. once the last card has been taken from the draw deck the round ends and each remaining player will have 3 Action cards still in their hand. You then have a choice of allowing the players to keep those three cards in their hand for the 3rd Place/Final or throw them into the discards and start with a new hand for the 3rd PLace/Final round. The former gives some strategic options of trying to get your teams through to the Final and keeping good cards for that Final game. The files are quite large as they contain a lot of illustrations (Part 2 has been corrected in Group H results - 21Feb10) PART 1 / PART 2 / PART 3 The Score sheet can be accessed here.
