Interesting playing with the flat plastics against the 3-D version. Had the flat version for Christmas about 1963, age 8, when you drew the pitch on an old army blanket! They still made a cardboard version then. Still got a 3-D set. Not played for 40 years - houses too small when son was a boy. The original 3-D version had a bit of lead in the base so you really could do all the swerves, spins, and twists the instructions showed. Age about 15, rugby injury to right hand middle finger stopped me playing to earlier standard!
I just used to pick them up by their heads and whack it. Laying the turf across my bed sheets and imagine they were playing on the field next to my house. I bought some shiny plastic Subbuteo trophies and used them for various things at school. Best days.
Awesome setup. But 'd be terrified about leaning over too far and going crashing through the stands. I'll stick with my simple astropitch on top of a sheet of cardboard setup. It's much safer for me!
Can somebody answer a question, please? Who moves the referee, and how often is he moved, and to where? I have never found the answer, and I first played this game in 1967.
Part II. SPORTS RULES OF THE GAME Rule 1: Manipulation of the playing figures 1.1. Flicking 1.1.1. A playing figure shall be propelled by placing the index or middle finger of either hand by the playing figure and flicking with the nail of the finger against the playing figure's base. 1.1.2. Playing figures must not be knocked, pushed, nudged or scraped along nor may any leverage be gained other than from the playing surface. The flicked playing figure shall instantaneously leave the nail of the used finger. The player's hand and lower forearm may not move during the flick. Propelling the figure without touching the playing figure's base is not allowed.
@@SubbuteoCollector Nonetheless, you really should use the fingernail flick. Not so much because it's the strict rule but because it is part of the challenge of the game, after all. And it affords you superior control over the game action: greater accuracy over long-distance moves, fewer knock-downs of your figures and a far better chance of executing the curl.
In my mind I'm playing the game myself had hours on fun playing that when I was younger
BRillaitn

It's a work out, I've played better the last couple of time I've been lol

Adam Weishaupt yeah it’s challenge to play but it’s set up with steps so you lean over. I couldn’t have it, too much dusting lol

I never move him, but great question, maybe the defensive side should move him when then claiming a foul
There were numerous illegal pushes!
Morten Kristoffersen Maybe so, but the game was more about fun than competition

Ian G lets play to have fun some and not get blogged down in hardcore rules. No ones gaining an advantage :-)

@@LordZontar I really think we ae over thinking, we are playing in stadium has makes near impossible anywhere. It is what it is
Ha ha. I also remember the rules from 40 years ago when last played. Rugby injury stopped me flicking properly about age 15
I bet it hurt when u flick the players
not too much
Gripping stuff.
Well, sort of lol
Scoring a goal in subbuteo is better than sex!
What happens more lol?
Push shots all the time, not flicks.
Doesn't matter as long as you enjoying the game, no one gained an advantage
@@SubbuteoCollector Live playthroughs seem to attract rules lawyers. Just have fun.
@@BoardGameBollocks amen to that
Keep on flicking
Paul Williams I intend do :-)
your opponent often commits a foul ! He can' t drag the finger in that way :D
It’s about playing for fun, hard core rule following can hamper the fun
I demand V.A.R
@@SubbuteoCollector RIght, you're going in the book for dissent.
