Hello everyone, I decided to redesign and give a new look to one of my favorite childhood games in Brazil. I present to you The Ultimate Finger Soccer!
It's basically soccer where players use fingers instead of legs, and a coin instead of a ball. Back in the 90s, the field was originally made of wood, and the defenders were nails attached to the plank. Now, I’ve made a fully 3D-printed version, with a foldable print-in-place soccer field and press-fit defenders, making the assembly process extremely easy.
It's a Family Friend game, and the rules are quite simple: players flip a coin to decide who starts, then place it in the middle of the field. The game is played in turns, with each player having one “kick” per turn. As in regular soccer matches, the player who scores the most goals wins! In Brazil, we used to play matches of 5 goals, but you can set your own rules 😀
One common modification back then was to paint half of the defenders according to the local team colors and their rivals, simulating an exciting match! Please feel free to change the colors according to your preferences.
The design intent was to create a soccer field that uses the full print bed size, while remaining as compact as possible when folded. As an option, I also printed a cover piece that secures everything in place and adds a nice finishing touch to the game (It is included in the print profile).
