Bulgarian legends take the field

​​

The field is the stadium in the town of Rumitsa. On one side stand Khalo The Zmeyborn and the Strandja team. On the other - Alelon and the fearsome Mrakobes. What starts as an ordinary game quickly turns into a battle of legendary proportions - because there can only be one winner in the battle for the Zmey Football Cup.

What makes "zmey Football" different?

ip09_Zmeyborn_Landing_icon_01.png

Bulgarian Culture: Heroes, zmeys, nymphs, mermaids, and karakondzhuls - all brought together in a modern board game inspired by the universe of “Kalo The Zmeyborn.” Our dream is to bring Bulgarian myths and legends out of the archives and make them part of vibrant, modern Bulgarian culture.

Football + Strategy, Chess-style: Planning moves, intercepting zones, field positioning, and weighing risks. A game that develops analytical thinking and allows the more perceptive or far-sighted players to gain the upper hand.

ip09_Zmeyborn_Landing_icon_02.png

Endless Combinations: The mythical footballers in the game, with their magical abilities, plus the randomly drawn “ORISIA” cards that alter the field, make every match unique.

ip09_Zmeyborn_Landing_Pages_icon_04.png

A Modern Superhero World: The game is based on the “Kalo The Zmeyborn” books by Milen Halyov - a perfect way for children to fall in love with reading and Bulgarian legends.

"The signal for the start of the game sounded. Khalo wasted no time and seized the ball. He darted across the field with effortless agility, slicing through the opponents’ defense as if it weren’t even there. The hardest part was restraining his powers so they wouldn’t appear supernatural. Many times as a child, he had sent balls flying with a single kick, soaring so high they returned like bombs dropped from the sky…

Suddenly, the field was swallowed by inky darkness. The goalkeeper vanished, replaced by the ominous boy with the scar on his cheek. His waxen face gleamed in the shadows. Kalo’s eyes widened in disbelief. The scarred boy grinned, stretching his thin, bone-like fingers toward him. The white net detached from the goalposts, leapt over the boy, and, like a grotesque giant spider, snapped swiftly toward Kalo. It lunged, wrapping him in its eerie grasp. His breath caught."
