  • 6 Board Meeting cards*
  • 4 Objective cards*

* These components may be used within both the Solo Campaign, as well as in any other game mode.

Goal of the Campaign

During a series of Scenarios, you try to become the Manager of one of the top 2 teams in the country. Once you achieve this goal, the final Scenario begins and you try to become the Champion of Division 1 by finishing the final Scenario of the Campaign 1st on the League table.

Setup

Before Setup, prepare the appropriate Scenario sheet. Your first game is Brickton FC, Season 1. The next Scenario you play is determined by the results from this first Scenario.

Set up the game as normal. All the Scenario-specific changes can be found on the Scenario sheet, along with special rules and Scenario goals.

Scenario Sheets

The 14 Scenario sheets are separate components. They are not reproduced in this rulebook; the Scenario-specific setup changes, special rules, Scenario goals, Scenario results and Victory Points tables printed on each sheet are therefore not included in this file.

Each Scenario sheet represents the club you play for a single Season (each side represents a single Scenario/Season). You begin with the first Season, and if you decide to remain with the club at the end of the Scenario, you flip the Scenario sheet to side Season 2.

The only exception to this is the Port East and Sheepdale Shire Scenario sheet—you may only play with each of these clubs for 1 Season.

Some Scenarios use special cards that are prepared according to the description on the Scenario sheet. These cards are also marked with the corresponding Team Emblem on the back.

Some of these cards give you additional actions that may be performed by fulfilling their requirements and exhausting the card (as usual).

Each Scenario has specific goals. At the end of each Scenario you check the Victory Points table to find your score for the goals you have completed.

Note: Scoring works differently here than in the solo variant of the base game.

Professional Manager41–50Dafton (Div. 3), Royalford (Div. 2), Smokepool (Div. 2)

World Class Manager61+–

Record your score in the table at the end of the rulebook (if you would like to play the Campaign again, you can find a blank table on our website portalgames.pl/en/eleven-football-manager-board-game/).

Your career options are shown on the Victory Points table located on the Scenario Sheet. You may choose any option, once you have fulfilled its minimum requirement. If you do well, you have many different possibilities and if you don't do well, you have fewer options.

You may choose to either go to a club that you have not been with before, or stay with the same club for a second Season.

Note: sometimes clubs aren't interested in you and you must stay where you are.

If you lose the Scenario, you may try again before proceeding.

Example: It was a successful season for you as a trainer of Middleham FC. You have scored 48 VP, and therefore have plenty of choices. Looking at the table above, you are rated as a Professional Manager, and therefore may decide to stay in Middleham, move to Royalford (in the 2nd Division), or move to Dafton (in the 3rd Division).

You cannot move to Brightsbury, because you didn't score enough Victory Points, nor to Smokepool, because you have already played a season in that club.

League Table

If you end up in the first position, the club is promoted. If you stay at the club for another Season, you must play against teams from a higher Division.

At the end of a Season, if you ever end up in the same position on the League table as one or more of your Opponents, use the following to break the tie:

  • The Red Opponent Team markers move one space higher.
  • The Blue Opponent Team markers move one space higher, unless your fitness level is 4+, then it moves one space lower.
  • The Green Opponent Team markers move one space lower.

Staying at Club

If you stay at the club for a second Season, flip the Scenario sheet to side with the Season 2. Do not use the basic Setup. Keep everything from the first Scenario and read the Setup instructions on the Scenario sheet.

The advantage of staying is that you get to keep some of your Staff and Players. It gives you a serious kick-off to a better start than the previous Season, which may earn you more points and better career opportunities. After the second Season, however, you must leave.

Moving to Another Club

If you move to another club, take the new corresponding Scenario sheet.

You won't be able to keep any Staff members or Players, but you will keep Trophy cards.

End of Your Career

Once you've successfully finished a Season at one of the top two clubs (Port East or Sheepdale Shire), you've completed the Campaign!

Add up your best scores from the 3 Divisions and divide them by 3. Finally, add the VP shown on your Trophy cards (the laurel icon). This is your final score.

Trophy Cards

When you become a Champion of a Division for the first time by finishing the specific Scenario 1st on the League table, you may take a Championship card from the corresponding Division. Shuffle these cards and take one at random. At the end of the Campaign, these are worth extra Victory Points. They also provide bonuses that you can use in each subsequent Scenario. You may only have one Trophy card from each Division.

The booklet illustrates two Trophy cards:

  • Best of the Best (1st Division Cup). ACTION: Search the Player deck for any Player (ball icon). Hire them for half price (rounded up).
  • Perfect Plan (Division Cup). ACTION: Flip this card to Build an Office for 3 (icon) less.

Other Expansions

Components From This Expansion Outside the Campaign

Board Meeting cards, Objective cards, and Director cards that are not marked with a Team Emblem on their reverse side may be used when playing the base game or along with any other expansion. Before Setup, shuffle them into their corresponding decks.

It is not recommended to combine the Solo campaign with either the Unexpected Events or the International Cup expansions. However, if you decide to combine them, ignore the Special Scenario rules affecting Matches when playing Cup Matches.

You may combine this expansion with all other expansions. All components from this expansion have the printed expansion icon, in order to easily distinguish them.
