Description

Die Wilden Kerle: Tor is a light soccer-themed card-game with a Die Wilden Kerlte theme.

Each player has their own draw deck consisting of 15 cards: two sets of cards valued 2-7, one "Tor" card, and one "0" card. Each turn, players simultaneously select one card from their hand of seven cards. The player with the winning card advances the soccer ball on the play field, with the ball moving back and forth until one player scores. After a duel, each player draws back up to seven cards.

This game is a reimplementation of Reiner Knizia's other soccer-themed card-game, Tor, with many important differences:

  • Instead of 13 cards (values 1-13), both players have 15 cards (with numerous differences from the original game). These include one "Tor" (goalkeeper) card that blocks movement of the ball, one "0" card that beats a "7", and 12 cards with the values 2-7 (two of each). The "5" card has a special power: when they are played, the lower card wins.
  • In the original, players had all their cards in hand. In this version they only have 7 cards in-hand and refill their hand back to 7 once their turn is over.
  • If two equal cards are played, the ball is not moved, but the given duel is not resolved yet. Both players choose another card until one player wins and then the ball moves in the winning direction as many fields as the number of cards played by the player.
