Do you know what? You're welcome.

OK, we know that The Goonies is not a Christmas film, but it may as well be known as 'the greatest, non-Christmas, Christmas film of all time' along with Willy Wonka and The (original) Karate Kid. It's a classic. With that in mind, we've just come across this majestic game that is now available to buy online. You could never be bored on Christmas Day with this. https://twitter.com/TheAlbinoDragon/status/806248299426643968 The Goonies adventure card game was crowdfunded after a Kickstarter page was established earlier this year. Film fans and card game enthusiasts helped raise more than $58,000 (£45,000) to create a game with objectives described as follows by its creators:
'In THE GOONIES: Adventure Card Game, you play as a ragtag group of kids from the Goon Docks neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon. 'You must join together on a quest to find the treasure of legendary pirate One-Eyed Willy so that you can save your homes from demolition!  'You will need to keep your wits about you and use your unique skills to avoid One-Eyed Willy’s booby traps and also stay one step ahead of the Fratellis, a family of criminals intent on claiming the treasure for themselves.'
Needless to say, the great Sean Astin - who played Mikey in the '80s classic - was impressed. https://twitter.com/seanastin/status/806268070029201408?refsrc=email&s=11 Catch up with this week's episode of Football Friday Live
