Boardroom Director is a football management game seen from the director's office rather than the touchline. Your job is everything that happens around the team: contracts, the budget, the media, the federation and the people above and below you.
You close the week, the match plays out in the background, and your decisions show on the pitch. It is a single-player card game with role-playing progression, and you can play it in your browser on this site. The iOS and Android versions are on the way.
The Friday desk
New cards land on your desk every week: a star whose contract is running out, a bid from a bigger club, a wage crisis, a disciplinary hearing, angry fans. Your moves are limited and you cannot handle everything. Choosing what to leave for next week is part of the job.
Five classes, five styles
Start as a Tactician, Ex-Agent, Ex-Player, Businessman or Fan. Each class has strengths and weaknesses, and you get better results when you speak in your own style. The Fan takes the hard road, with no trade behind them, only belonging. Every class has its own ultimate move.
The squad really changes
Sell your star and the funds fill up, but the team gets weaker. Invest in the academy and young players come through. Every transfer decision shows in your squad's strength on matchday.
Four divisions and a demanding board
There are four tiers, from the Third Division to the Premier Division. The top three go up and the bottom three go down. Each season the board sets a target: avoid relegation, reach the play-offs, finish in profit or finish above your rival. Meet it and you earn trust; miss it and you may be shown the door. Even if you are sacked, your career goes on with new job offers.
How to play
- Start a new career and pick your class: Tactician, Ex-Agent, Ex-Player, Businessman or Fan.
- Each Friday, read the cards on your desk. Every card is a situation with a few possible answers.
- Spend your limited moves on the cards that matter most. Each choice affects your funds, the squad, the fans or the board.
- Close the week. The match is played in the background and the result comes back to your desk.
- At the end of the season the board judges its target. Earn experience, level up and choose new perks.
