The match is played on a 9 × 7 grid. Your team attacks one goal and defends the other. Each side lines up in formation — goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and forwards. To score you must get the ball to the player in front of your opponents' goal and shoot past their keeper.
A match lasts 10 turns (two halves of 5). Each turn you and the opponent both act. Every turn every team receives 3 action points (AP) and draws a fresh hand of 3 cards to spend them on.
Each card has a cost in AP. You can play cards until you've spent your AP or used your cards, then end your turn. At half time (after turn 5) you can make substitutions.
Cards are the engine of the game. Every action is a card you play on a player on the ball. The core cards are:
Some cards are powerful but rare or one-time use. Watch your hand and your opponent's.
Click any card in your hand, then click the destination on the pitch to play it. The ball follows the player in possession. A marked player holding the ball cannot move forward or sprint.
From the last three columns you can shoot. Your shooting value (plus the card bonus, minus distance and the box crowding) must beat the goalkeeper's goalkeeping value for the shot to go in. Defenders in the ball's path make it harder — attackers in the box make it easier.
Use Tackle to challenge the carrier, Mark to shadow them, and Press to close them down. Position your goalkeeper well — an off-line keeper is easier to beat.
Reckless challenges can draw fouls and yellow cards, which weaken a player for the rest of the match. Injuries, cramps, weather and crowd effects can all swing a game. Good managers plan around them.
Score more goals than your opponent to win. In knockout tournaments a draw leads to extra time, and if it stays level the match is decided on a penalty shootout — every team's best shooters take it in turns against the opposing keeper.
