📄 About the Rulebook

The PDF has been designed to preserve the look and feel of the original rulebook — same A5 format, same chapter structure, same layout. If you played the original postal game, it’ll feel familiar straight away.

You’re welcome to download and print it for personal use at no cost.

⚠️ Some rule sections are greyed out — these cover mechanics that are still under development and will be added as the game evolves. Everything in full colour is live and active.

🖌️ Illustrations

All artwork has been remastered by the original illustrator, Greg Stewart, who drew the illustrations for the very first edition of Soccer Supremos back in the late 1980s. The 5th Edition includes:

• Cover image
• 8 internal pen-and-ink illustrations

🆕 New Additions

The rebuilt game includes a number of features that weren’t in the original version — or were only lightly used. These aren’t all fully documented in the current rulebook yet, but will be incorporated into future editions as the game continues to develop.

In the meantime, the Manager’s Playbook covers many of these newer features in detail through its Hint Sheet library.
