HELVETIA Cup, The Premiere Soccer Simulation Game

AYENT, SWITERZLAND, October 30, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- HELVETIA Games is an experienced board game manufacturer that has created a new game called the HELVETIA Cup. The HELVETIA Cup is a soccer simulation game which is set in a fantasy world. In the lore of the game, the small country of HELVETIA expresses their rivalries through the HELVETIA Cup. This means that the games are won by any means necessary.

The HELVETIA Cup is a two player board game which features many fantastic elements. Winning the game blends tactical skill, strategy and luck. Much of the strategy comes from the strengths of the different teams. There are seven HELVETIA teams in total. These include the Mad Men and Dragons who are the original squads. There are five additional groups vying for the Cup. The Vampires suck away the power of their opposing teams. The Bears are strong and tackle like a mac truck. The Ogres literally eat the competition. The Dwarfs play with illegal weapons, shoot precisely and are difficult to damage. Last, but certainly not least, the Succubus bewitch players on the opposing team. An important part of the game is the intricate artwork that goes into the over 70 highly detailed miniature game pieces. Each team has its own miniatures with a completely unique look and feel.

The HELVETIA Cup has both a family and a geek version. The different rules create two separate tabletop games. The family version can be learnt in just five minutes. Meanwhile the more competitive version of the game can take hours to learn. Each team has nine players including one goalie, four starters and two substitutes. Each player has different skills in defence, attack and endurance. Once the game begins the player with the ball moves first. Players are allowed to move one hex on the board at a time. There is a speed boost available but if players deplete their entire boost then all of their statistics are cut in half. The defender then moves, if the defender moves into the same hex as the player with the ball they can perform an action. The defender can either pressure the attacker, try to steal the ball or tackle them. If the attacking player keeps the ball they can then pass or shoot if they are in the shooting zone. A shot is ultimately determined by a dice throw. There are also special cards that add a lot of variety to what the teams can do.

HELVETIA Games hopes to start organizing tournaments and one day host a world championship. At this point in time HELVETIA Games has finished development of the game. The design, rules and three dimensional models of the game are ready. In order to produce and grow the game a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign has been launched which will run until November 15th. Everyone is encouraged to visit the crowdfunding website in order to gain an appreciation of the game and the extensive miniature artwork. Rewards for funders include:
