Whether it is Inter v. Milan, Madrid v. Atletico or Colchester v. Southend, nothing can match the passion and excitement of a derby football game. With a third of the season played and performances so far nothing to cheer about, old rivalries are rekindled as the days tick by to the biggest derby in the PB National League Top Tier – it's Blues v. Reds. In Pitch Battles, as the manager of one of the two teams, you will pick your starting line up from your squad and chose your formation. Using you own deck, you will be playing cards to direct players, moving their tokens to tackle, gain possession, pass your way through the opposition's defence and shoot for goal. You will look to your assistant coach to provide tactical guidance, whilst your team captain will try to inspire and rally the troops. Get the ref on your side and encourage your supporters to cheer and spur your team on. Maybe a bit of intimidation from the fans will sway things your way, encouraged by some dubious challenges. To win the beautiful game you may need to play ugly. This is the local derby and winning is all that matters! -description from the designer
