Album 38 — the Serie A sticker album game
Album 38 is a free browser game. Open a pack of football stickers: inside is a Serie A
squad picked at random from somewhere between 2004/05 and 2026/27. You keep a single player
from it and stick him in a slot on the pitch. Then another pack, and another, until the
album is full. At that point the season plays itself, and thirty-eight matchdays later
you find out whether you had an eye for it or just got lucky.
What 38-0-0 means
38-0-0 is the perfect season: thirty-eight matchdays, no draws, no defeats. No real side
has ever done it in Serie A, and almost no album gets there either. It is the result the
game is named after, and the reason you open one more pack.
Seven ways to play
- Single game — one album, one season, on your own.
- Local 1v1 — two managers on one screen, identical packs, and at the end the match between the two albums told minute by minute.
- Online tournament — two to eight players, each on their own phone, the same packs for everyone and a knockout bracket to the winner.
- Quick tournament — no code: type a team name and land in a public room with strangers, which starts on its own.
- Identikit — six stats and an age, no name: five guesses, and every wrong one opens a clue.
- Highest of the six — the stats face down: name the highest one, until you get it wrong.
- Identikit duel — the same mystery player for everyone, private clues, a clock per guess.
The squads are the real ones: twenty-three Serie A seasons and forty-five clubs, from
2004/05 to 2026/27 — Juventus 2011/12, Napoli 2019/20, Chievo 2008/09 and all the rest.
Every pack is one club in one exact year, with the players it actually had.

The daily identikit
Every day there is one mystery player, the same for everyone until midnight: six stats,
an age, five guesses, and every wrong one opens a clue. No sign-up and no leaderboard —
it takes a minute, and tomorrow there is another one.
