From the founder

Sam Rahim, founder of The Extra Times

I grew up playing, spent years working in the game and never stopped being a fan. This paper is where that ball knowledge finally goes: no screens, no notifications, just you and a pencil. See you at full-time.

No. Games run from easy to tough, so there's something for a casual fan and something to stump the know-it-all.

Is it for kids?

Yes. The instructions are written so a 12-year-old can play without help.
