Subbuteo: spin flicking

More action from Maryhill Community Halls, Glasgow. Here Dave Gladman displays the art of spin flicking. This is how real Subbuteo should be played. Forget the polish - all you get is 'Subbuteo on Ice'. It's like curling, somebody will be be producing little brushes for the park next.

are they card or celluloid flats...I only use celluloids myself but really he should be brave and use a celly keeper too !

[davejagfan]

They are cardboard figures which have been varnished. I have celluloid as well. Yeah, you're right about the keeper but it's my one concession to modernity!

How come when the Yellow Team hit the ball the other guy with the White Team was flicking on of his players? It was'nt his turn though?

[davejagfan]

For every flick the team in posession has, the other team can take a block flick which must not touch the ball or other figures

[davejagfan]

[Feisty1967]

My brother had Subbuteo and it was so crap, you had to flick to kick the players, and me being the younger sister couldn't do it. It's such a crap game.
