An analogue WW2 U-boat MMO that uses real football results instead of dice, Das Football Boot is capable of producing surprisingly plausible submarine sagas. The catch? Players need to be patient, conscientious, and willing to undertake a little bookkeeping or those sagas have no chance of developing. Last season, I found myself wishing for emailed match reminders (captains must choose a Caution setting prior to every match their chosen team plays) and automatic log updates (after a match, it’s up to you to alter your sub’s stats appropriately). Several decades of intensive video gaming have made me workshy, it seems.
