Magic Number Eleven is THE Soccer Board Game You've Been Looking For

[@soremachifan]

Great review, got me salivating as a football and board game fan. Slowly watching your videos to research games to hunt for in Japan

[@CardboardEast]

Thanks for watching & welcome to Team Awesome ✊ Good hunting!!

[@boardgamehubby]

Thank you, this made me preorder the game. I also gave you a shoutout on my top 10 anticipated Essen games where this was, of course, included 😄👍

[@CardboardEast]

Awesome, thank you so much!!

[@tencrow3459]

this is definitely going on the wishlist now! the themes and vibes seem top notch! great review as always!

[@CardboardEast]

Thanks!!

[@sahil28manunited]

Thank you so much for this video. I was able to pre order and pick up this game at Essen (luckily) because of your overview 🎉

[@CardboardEast]

Thanks for watching!! You’re one of the lucky few! I heard it sold out on DAY ONE!!!

[@timpavey3979]

Thanks for the video. Preordered when I saw it on your top 10 for Essen and even more excited now!

[@CardboardEast]

Hope you enjoy it! Crush your enemies!

[@petervanderham4725]

Great one Jay! Pre-ordered it when you mentioned it in you other video. Love this!

[@CardboardEast]

Thanks for watching! Hope you crush your enemies!

[@brandonjohnson9876]

Looks great. Seems very easy to teach, with a fair bit of depth without being overwhelming. And there’s the possibility of expansions that add new players.

[@CardboardEast]

Yeah! I talked to the designer at Spiel, he’s working on a solo mode and an expansion already. Excited about the future!!

[@go2ars]

I just got this game, can't wait to try it. The video games you talk about are probably Kunio-kun series, they have all kind of wacky sport games, I totally loved it.

[@CardboardEast]

Oh, yes! River City Ransom is AWESOME!!! I loved those games growing up!

[@amyhoang95]

i want this game in my bones. preordered, thank you for the video!

[@CardboardEast]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@ThunderCanyon]

This looks brilliant. Thanks for sharing :)

[@CardboardEast]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching!

[@EltWilder]

Saw the design diary on BGG and now happy to see this walkthrough. Looks really good.

[@CardboardEast]

Thanks for watching! Hope my explanation was easy to follow 👍

[@tzgardner]

Oh yeah, looks great! If there was a solo mode this would be an insta-buy for me. I don't have much opportunity to play 2 players. I'm either playing solo or playing with my game group.

[@CardboardEast]

I told the designer he should make a solo mode with a World Cup bracket. That would rock! He said he’d try 😅

[@elqord.1118]

Lovely overview. Preordered immediately. Thanks

[@CardboardEast]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@Merlandese]

Made me very excited for this!

[@CardboardEast]

Thanks for watching! Don’t miss out on next week as I talk about all the board games from Asia going to Spiel 👍

[@thewbsart]

thank you so much for this video. We were at Essen and couldn't get a copy. Any idea on how to get this game to Europe?

[@CardboardEast]

Thanks for watching! I’d recommend reaching out to the publisher. Someone might have picked up license, or they would know where to get a copy 👍

[@shockwavemasta]

Sucha good game and I'm not even that into football - quite happy I picked it up at Tokyo Game Market

[@CardboardEast]

Right?! I feel the exact same way. Good games can be hidden anywhere-even in a theme that doesn’t fully resonate with you.

[@middleclassjoe]

Hi Jay. Great video! How can those of us in the US pick one of these up?

[@CardboardEast]

Currently, the best way is to pick it up at Spiel Essen 2024. If you’re not going or can’t find someone to mule it for you, I’d recommend reaching out to the publisher directly.

[@middleclassjoe]

@@CardboardEast Thanks for the advice. My copy is on its way!!

Hey dude thanks for this review. Now i want this game to.present that on my channel ^^. Know where i can buy it ? Send a message to the creator also for an answer. Take care collegue :)

[@CardboardEast]

I would DM the publisher via Twitter. They would be more than happy to work something out for you 👍 Thanks for watching!

[@heshamx9444]

Why you are the only one who reviewed it

[@CardboardEast]

I’m just awesome that way? Games from Asia don’t get as much attention as most publishers don’t have as much money to spend on marketing as publishers elsewhere. The idea of Cardboard East is to review games from “The East” and share what we find. We found this gem and needed to share it with the world.

[@heshamx9444]

@@CardboardEastthank you for the review anyway. I ordered it and gonna collect it today!!🎉

[@ylein6508]

How is the replayability. I feel like there aren’t many different player cards so the game might feel samey after a few plays

[@CardboardEast]

I've played MN11 about a dozen times and haven't gotten tired of it. You also draft 3 star players into your team every game, so your team is slightly different each game. But I mean, Chess is always played with the same pieces & it never feels boring.

[@lexgc]

How can I get this in Australia?

[@CardboardEast]

I would directly reach out to the Korean publisher, Pluto Games. BUT, the game might get picked up at Spiel next week so a localized version could be on its way shortly.
