Gameplay

There are two different styles of play, classic, and speed play.

Both games are for 2+ players and can also be played in teams.

Classic Rules

• Split timer and category cards, shuffle and place face down

• One player turns over a category card and then a timer card

• They state a number of answers they can give from the category within the timeframe

• This continues around the group, with each player stating a higher number or challenging the previous player

• Once challenged, the player must answer the stated amount within the timeframe

• If successful, they win the card. If unsuccessful, the player who challenged wins the card. Return the timer card to the bottom of the pile

Etiquette

• Some cards have a blank on them, these should be filled in by the player that turns over the card before turning over the timer card

• One player in the group should be in charge of the timer

• Another player should be in charge of counting the number of answers given

• Questionable answers should be counted, but checked at the end and chalked off if incorrect

• Unless specified, all answers can be for past and present

• Decorum should be observed and distractions kept to a minimum (unless you want to count down the last ten seconds to add pressure)

• Arguments will occur, that’s part of the fun. Group consensus rules for any debates

Speedplay Rules

• Shuffle the category cards and place face down, the timer cards are not needed

• One player turns over a category card and names one answer for the category

• This quickly continues around the group, if you delay for more than a few seconds, you are out

• Players are eliminated one by one until one player remains, they are the winner and win the card

Etiquette

• For questionable answers we would suggest temporarily pausing the game to check

• Unless specified, all answers can be for past and present

• Decorum should be observed and distractions kept to a minimum (unless you want to count down the time to add pressure)

• Arguments will occur, that’s part of the fun. Group consensus rules for any debates

About

The card game that rewards obscure football knowledge under pressure. That's our tagline, but the backstory spans over a decade. The game was created by four friends at school, Jack, Jamie, Sam and Simon.
​
Fast forward to today, and we’ve spent the past two years bringing it to life in the form of a card game to be enjoyed with family at home or with friends over a nice cold pint.
​
Arguments will occur, but that's part of the fun.
And we're glad to say, we're still friends.
