As attorney for the inventor of the innovative new Soccer Strategy Board Game we are currently seeking investors and manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention. Interested parties can reach the attorney at the contact numbers listed at the bottom of this page.

The present invention relates generally to board games and, more specifically, to a soccer board game having a ferromagnetic surface and game pieces incorporating magnets to maintain the selective positioning of the game pieces during a play turn. The requisite number of game pieces are selectively positioned by each player with the game ball positioned on the center spot whereupon one player using their designated game stick hits the ball in an attempt to score a goal. Successive turns are played by the defensive player positioning pieces to block goals while the offensive player uses his stick to strike the ball in an attempt at scoring a goal. Goals are scored by a player hitting the ball into the opposing player's goal.

The top surface of the board has a graphic image of a soccer field and marked locations for center spot and penalty spots with the game board having a raised perimeter lip defining the field of play.

Additionally, the players and contour of the magnetic base for the game pieces is varied depending on the position played, such as the goalie having a cavity between the legs to stop the ball. Other player's can have a long stance as if running with a substantially linear base while others have a wider front edge for blocking the ball. Strategic placement of the pieces by the defensive player and offensive player mimics a chess-like game with the magnetic bases of the player's inhibiting movement if struck by the game ball.

Objects of the present invention: to provide a soccer board game that includes strategic planning in scoring goals to provide a soccer board game that incorporates magnetism to secure the player's placement of game pieces to provide a soccer board game having a rigid planar material forming a base with a ferromagnetic layer positioned thereover to provide a soccer board game having a top surface comprised of a fabric material with a graphic image thereon of a typical soccer field to provide a soccer board game having magnetic elements positioned on the base to prevent movement during game play to provide a soccer board game having a non-ferromagnetic game ball and sticks for the defensive and offensive game players that are used in turn to hit the game ball to provide a soccer board game having game pieces in various stances and variously contoured bases depending on their functional position to provide a soccer board game having instructions that includes positioning the pieces to prevent the other player from scoring a goal
