HysteriCoach

Players split into two teams, each with a coach and several field players seated opposite their counterparts. The game uses a gridded pitch board, wooden player figures with numbers, dice and action cards that show a target formation for scoring. Coaches alone see the action card and must direct team members to move specific numbered figures into position using only gestures and miming; verbal naming or pointing at figures is penalized. When the coach’s cues result in the required formation, the final moving player rolls to attempt a goal. The round system produces quick, noisy rounds of coordination and deduction as teams compete to score more goals than their opponents.
