About the game
Gobgob got a red card. Gobgob is appealing to VAR.
Gobgob's favourite bit: The scramble to redraw. Play a card, then grab a new one before the next player picks up, or you're stuck on the bench for a turn.
📦 In the box: 133 game cards, including 45 players, 22 Goals, Red and Yellow Cards, VAR and more.

Members anywhere in New Zealand can borrow by post. Postal swaps go out every Thursday. The cutoff is Wednesday 10pm for Thursday delivery.
Postage out is charged at our normal website shipping rates, and you pay to post games back to us.
Missing pieces and damage
Check the box when you borrow it. If a piece is missing, tell us at the counter so it isn't charged to you.
Pieces that go missing or get damaged while a game is with you can be charged up to the game's RRP, unless our staff waive it. Normal wear and tear is fine. The full details are in the library terms.
