What to Expect
You play as a team manager: draft players, bid in auctions, manage your roster and play through a season. The game opens with a quick draft and blends open drafting with auction/bidding and deck/pool-building. News cards introduce surprises like injuries and comebacks, while dice resolve head-to-head matchups. Expect strategic planning, hand management, and dice-driven results over a full season.
Who Is This Game For?
Targeted at tacticians and sports fans aged 14 and up, Huddle suits hobbyists and players who enjoy deeper mechanics. With a 150-minute duration it's an evening-length to extended experience and benefits from prior draft or fantasy-sports experience.
How It Works
Players build rosters using Open Drafting and Auction/Bidding, then develop their teams via Deck/Bag/Pool-Building elements. Hand Management matters for weekly lineup decisions. An Action Timer speeds certain phases, and dice determine player performance in matchups. Phases alternate between selection and season rounds.
What Makes It Special
Huddle uniquely combines fantasy-football theme with Open Drafting, Auction/Bidding and pool-building mechanics. Published in 2025 and for 2–6 players, it links manager decisions with dice-driven matches to simulate a season.
