The beginnings |
| For Subbuteo, Peter Adolph used one of the most innovative materials at the time: the plastic. The first pieces were made of cardboard figures placed in plastic bases, very smooth on the playing field. Basics rules of Subbuteo are totally different than other table games dedicated to football. |

For problems of commercial Adolph could
not use the name chosen initially: "The Hobby". He choosed Subbuteo: a
name he takes a cue from the Latin definition of lodaiolo hawk, a bird
common in rural England. The reason? His ability to hit the target with
precision and speed. A witty way to delineate the features of the new
game. The head of the Subbuteo (falcon) appeared in the symbol of the game in the 70s. |
