Chessoccer rules
Chessoccer is a simultaneous-turn tactical football game. These are the rules needed to play a complete match.
Pitch and teams
The pitch is 11 columns by 18 rows. Each coach controls four outfield players and one goalkeeper.
Planning and movement
Each outfield player may receive a destination within three squares. Plans remain secret until the turn resolves.
Passing and stealing
An unmoved defender on a route can steal from a moving carrier or intercept a pass. Meeting the carrier can also contest possession.
Shots and victory
Shots start inside the shooting zone and trigger a goalkeeper reaction. The first team to score three goals wins; the leading team wins when time expires.
