Footy Gifts

A footy gift does not have to be another scarf. The Local is a card game for the match itself: something to open with mates, not put on a shelf.

Start with the footy drinking card game. Deal five cards each, watch live Aussie Rules and score when the events on your cards happen. The box includes 100 game cards and a rules card for 2–6 players, ages 18+.

For the people you watch the game with

It is a game-day gift for a footy-mad Dad, a partner who always has the match on, or the mate who hosts every final. You do not need to choose a team, know their clothing size or work out which jumper they already own.

For birthdays and Christmas, make the gift a plan: pick a match and get the group around. For Father's Day gifts, think grown-up family time with the footy on. Alcohol is optional; the card points still give everyone something to play for.
