Blackout Rugby Manager

Blackout Rugby Manager is a rugby management game where you create and run a club, make decisions about its players and tactics, and compete for trophies. You can play in a multiplayer rugby world against friends and other players.

Develop your club

You create player training regimes using more than 20 session types, monitor players’ physical training and progress, and invest in multiple tech trees. A card system shapes what you can accomplish each day, letting you prioritize areas such as training, youth development or match tactics. You also develop club facilities, including training centers, medical facilities, statues of past club heroes and broadcasting studios.

Club finances are handled through a system that lets you focus on decisions tied to success while the board takes care of routine money management. Anatomically specific injuries can force you to choose whether to rest or play an injured player. You negotiate player contracts through a straightforward system, and use an active transfer market to bid in auctions, sell quickly for cash or pay above market value to secure a player.

Manage your squad

Each player has an individual avatar as well as rugby skills and physical and mental attributes. You can build a youth academy to develop young talent, set and save line-ups, select substitutes and organize positional depth charts.

Plan for match day

You create match-day game plans around your team’s strengths and the opposition’s weaknesses. Tactical options include attack patterns, ruck commitment, kicking strategies, defensive systems and lineout targets.

Multiplayer

Unions are the game’s take on clans or guilds. The description also lists union competitions, cup competitions and managing international sides in World Cups as coming features.
