For a growing number of people in the Subbuteo community, competitive play is fast becoming the only way to play the game. The easing of lockdown has seen a growth in clubs and it has led to a rise in the number taking part in organised competitions, but is it for everyone?

For many people playing the game against an opponent is the only way to play Subbuteo, and what better way than in a club setting. In this week's episode we'll find out what it's like to be a member of a Subbuteo club and what you can get out of it.

Not everyone plays Subbuteo with others. Some people enjoy the pleasure of solo play; time away from the stresses of everyday life when they can immerse themselves in a world of nostalgia, fantasy and creativity.

The global Coronavirus pandemic has shone a light on the issue of men's mental health. In this episode of the podcast we'll hear how for some people in the community Subbuteo has been, if not a life saver, then at least a huge support.

This week on the podcast we'll conclude our episode on Subbuteo as a working class experience by looking at whether or not the game is in danger of gentrification. Is the cost of collecting and the price of modern bases simply pricing a new generation of working class kids out of taking up the game.
