NUTMEG! is a nostalgic football manager game with a deckbuilding twist, set in the '80s and '90s. Relive the days when the tackles were as hard as the mullets were long and football was about football.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.43/day in the week to Sep 7 → 1/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.14/day in the week to Jul 26 → 1.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Deckbuilding goes in two-footed on football management!
Become the gaffer of a classic football team and embark on a nostalgic 20-year journey up and down the English football Divisions through the 1980s and 1990s.
Pick your line-up and formations, and challenge the opposition in a fast-paced card battler with three points on the line in every match.
The only football game where getting cards is a good thing! Earn card packs by completing challenges. Combine cards to enhance your deck and bully the other team off the pitch.
Route one? Tiki-taka? Counter-attacking? Refine skills and strategies in training to earn extra card packs and humble your opponents when Saturday comes.
Pick your club, manage player transfers, scout and develop youth talent, and scrap for every place across four Divisions.
Manage the entire club from your desk. Control the finances, talk with the press, and hire and fire backroom staff. Don't get too distracted by any retro games on the computer...
Immerse yourself in some of the most iconic eras of English football. Unlock new clubs each season and decide whether to be a journeyman manager or a one-club hero.

Salut, je suis agréablement surprise par la qualité du jeu, même si au bout d'un moment je râle comme un putois. Il est indéniable que la chance joue un rôle crucial dans le jeu. Toutefois, après un laps de temps, on devient accro.
Not perfect by any means, still lacks some qol, maybe a bit more depth on some parts of the game but solid foundations and very cool vibe, hope to see more update to this little banger.

it ok, i feel like i dont really have much control during any stage though
It's fun.
[h3] I didn't know I would love the nostalgic football manager more than the modern one [/h3]
Enjoyed CM/FM until about the mid 00s when it became bloated? Then look no further
Initially I didn't like this. Thought it was too basic. But its deceptively involving, with a lot of extras. The card game format is quite unique in regards to football management and the nostalgia factor is really hitting the spot. I would love there to be continuing updates and perhaps more features.
Enjoyed this more than I expected. Great Steam Deck game for travel. Enjoyed learning new mechanics and slowly grinding the team upwards.
If you have a love of football in general then I would gladly recommend this game. It just grabs you when you recognize any of the names and want to start a super team.
Funny thing — I don’t even like football, but I loved the principle behind this, so I thought, what the heck, let’s give it a try. I’m so glad I did, because I’m having a blast. It’s super easy to pick up but has a surprising amount of depth. Nothing beats scoring in the dying minutes to win, or having only a 10% chance to sign a player and landing them! Great fun!
