Basic guide
How to play
Each turn you plan your team, decide the action on the ball, and then everything resolves. Learn the essentials at a glance.
Key idea:plan the whole turn before pressing Ready; then all orders resolve together.
Team
Move your team
Set destinations for your players. Spreading out creates space and new passing lanes.
Pass
When passing, choose the order
Move → Pass lets the receiver get open. Pass → Move lets them receive and then carry the ball forward.
Shot
When shooting, move first
If you start in the shooting zone, reposition without leaving it and shoot from a better angle.
You must start and finish inside the shooting zone.
Goalkeeper
React to the shot
When the opponent shoots, place the goalkeeper in one of the 5 positions to try to make the save.
You have 10 seconds to choose and confirm.
Advanced mechanic
How to steal the ball
Stealing is the most important tactical tool in the game. There are three different situations where a defender can take the ball.
The key: only defenders that do not move can steal on a path. If the defender also moves that turn, they do not interfere with the crossing.
Path steal
Defender in the way
If the ball carrier passes through a tile occupied by a defender that is static, that defender steals the ball. The attacker still reaches the destination, but without the ball.
Overlap steal
Same tile
If the ball carrier overlaps with a defender on a tile, possession changes teams .
Pass interception
The ball crosses an opponent
A pass whose path crosses an opposing defender's tile is intercepted. The defender keeps the ball in their position.
Victory conditions
How to win
The match is decided in two ways: score 3 goals or have more goals when time runs out.
Instant victory
First to score 3
The first team to score 3 goals wins the match instantly, without waiting for time to run out. Tactical pressure is high from the first turn.
Time victory
More goals when time ends
If no team reaches 3 goals, the team with more goals when the match time expires wins. Defending a lead matters as much as attacking.
