Subbuteo is a tabletop football game in which players simulate association football by flicking miniature players with their fingers. The name comes from the scientific name of the hobby falcon, Falco subbuteo. Its creator, Peter Adolph (1916 to 1994), had wanted to call the game Hobby, but he was unable to obtain the trademark, so he took the bird's Latin name instead. Although Subbuteo is most closely associated with the football game, versions based on other team sports, such as cricket, both codes of rugby and hockey, have also been produced.
