Italian Board Game - 'Play Ultras'

A-R-T-H-U-R

''The first game to recreate the excitement of being an Ultra, with minature hooligans armed with belts sticks and iron bars. The objective is to eliminate the opposing ultras by fighting them, removing their banners and putting them in hospital.

There are also 16 cops who have only one objective - to club as many hooligans as they can'' according to the inventor.

The game retails at 49 euros and they have sold over 1,000 units.

No mate, I think this is based on proper Ultras, not school kids pretending to be Ultras. Totally different.

Pretty sure there was a PC game called 'Hooligans Storm Over Europe' around about 10 years ago.

Do these figures sing a song from Sister Act as well?

I wonder how many of the Nigels know this? So embarrasing.

Ha, may have to look into this. Just back in my hostel after Roma 1-1 Inter, seeing a full 'curva' in full colour and song is always something else. England will never, ever get anywhere near it. Will post a couple pics and vids once home.

Each to their own, but I will never be impressed with choreographed fans, no matter how many of them there are.

The 'Ultras' should 'go American' ... marching bands, pom-pom girls and cheerleaders

Fair dos. Not all is choreographed, though. For example:

That's how you do smoke bombs properly.

It's pretty much their version of The Red Red Robin, then flags and that I'd consider their own initiative. Actual choreography I'd say is more so when they have a leader at the front telling them to raise their hands, clap, etc, plus the obvious displays when they all hold up a card to make a tifo/mosaic. Either way as much as I love it, any 'group' attempting it in this country is plain stupid.
