Basketboss – Become the manager of your dream team
In Basketboss, you're not on the court with the ball in your hands, but behind the desk as the manager of a professional basketball team . The competition is fierce, money is never enough, and every season forces you to make crucial decisions: who to sign, who to cut, and how to build a roster that will lead you straight to the title.
The heart of the game is the auction: you'll have to offer the best contracts to secure the most coveted players, but also surround yourself with the right consultants , figures capable of turning the tide of the season. A physiotherapist to avoid injuries, a shrewd agent to secure lucrative contracts, or other specialists who can transform your team into a winning machine.

Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. A season of auctions and contracts.
In Basketboss, you take on the role of a manager who must build the team of your dreams, facing seasons of intense bidding to secure the best players. Each round opens with new players ready to sign: rising stars, uniquely talented veterans, or prospects who could explode at the right time.
2. The art of offering the right contract.
Every player at auction presents a challenge: how much to spend now and how much to save for the future? With your budget always tight, you need to carefully plan your moves, bidding wisely to avoid burning through your resources and running dry mid-season.
3. Advisors and unforeseen events behind the scenes.
It's not just about players: you can hire specialists and consultants who can change the fate of your team. From the physiotherapist who reduces the risk of injuries to the agent who guarantees you advantages in negotiations, each advisor is a crucial element in managing the season effectively.
4. A career built season after season.
Your choices don't just matter in the present: players improve or decline over time, and only those who know how to plan ahead will be able to maintain a competitive roster. Letting go of an athlete at the right time or investing in a young player can mean the difference between glory and bankruptcy.
5. The Hall of Fame dream.
In the end, the winner is the one who built the most prestigious team, collecting trophies and leaving their mark on history. Basketboss is a game of auctions, strategy, and management, where every decision is a three-point shot: if it hits, your team will become legendary. 🏀

BasketBoss
Stars are won with millions... but only a true boss knows when to make the right offer.
The table is your parquet: now you make the difference
Basketboss – The Ruthless Art of the Basketball Draft
In Basketboss you don't shoot three-pointers: bluff shots, strategies and contracts .
Every choice is a gamble: should you go all-in on a promising rookie, rely on an experienced coach, or play it smart with a low-ball auction?
The beauty is that no one is ever in complete control. The tension builds round after round, and while everyone's aiming for the MVP... you dream of the boss ring.
The one who bluffs best wins. And if you have a physiotherapist on your team, you might even save the season.
Basketboss is a strategic board game for 2-5 players where you control a basketball franchise, aiming to assemble the perfect team through dynamic auctions , quick drafts and tactical advice.
The progressive elimination auction , pick-up & deliver , and role influence mechanics (like the legendary physiotherapist!) create short but tense and action-packed matches.
Ideal for those who love interactive, competitive games with a very high "I'll call your bluff" factor.
Personal opinion – We played it… and it warmed up the parquet for us 🐸
Basketboss won us over from the first round: it's quick to explain, but it keeps you glued to your seat like a conference final.
Every auction is a silent war. And when you make a mistake, you know it right away.
It made us laugh, scream and shake: it's a game that works , and it works very well even with those who are not basketball fans.
