'Good afternoon, and welcome to a packed Olympic stadium in Munchen for the second leg of this exciting final. And here comes the Germans now, led by their skipper 'Lobby' Hegel. They must truly be favorites this afternoon. They've certainly attracted the most attention from the press with their team problems.'

—Monty Python, Live at the Hollywood Bowl

Equipment:

  • the gameboard (provided on the website)
  • paper figures for eight philosophers and the ball (provided on the website)
  • a standard deck of playing cards: 52 cards plus 1 joker
  • two six-sided dice

This is a boardgame simulating a football match between teams of French and German Philosophers. The game is more or less what Americans would call soccer, leavened with enough indoor soccer and foosball to keep the existentialists angsty.
