Decide on a player to be “Ref” (banker) who will control the game.
Each player receives £150,000,000 and picks a footballer playing piece.
The ref tosses the coin, whichever player the arrow points to starts. If the arrow points between two players, the coin is re-thrown to decide which of the two will start. The players will then continue in a clockwise direction.
The player will roll both dice and, starting at the STARTING WHISTLE, will move his piece accordingly. If a player rolls a double he can roll again and ignore where he has landed or he can stay and forfeit the extra turn.
If a player lands on any SIGN PLAYER space, generic or specific, the player picks up the card or cards and has the option to buy players up to the number specified, for face value. If however the player chooses not to do so the other players may bid and purchase the cards over face value, the monies going back to the bank and the profit to the selling player.
