You are the coach of Nankatsu or Toho. Your goal is to score more goals than your opponent by the end of the match. If it's a draw, extra time is played. If still tied, both teams win.

A match has two halves, each played over 6 rounds. Every round has 4 phases:

1. Draw Phase

• Each coach draws up to 4 cards from their deck.
• Then, starting with the Defender, each coach picks 1 Match Card (from the 4 revealed or blindly from the Match Deck). These are added to their hand.

2. Attack Phase

• Starting with the Attacker, coaches alternate turns:
  • Play 1 card into their Play Area (optional abilities may be used),
  • Or pass (and cannot play more this round).
• The phase ends when 9 total cards are in play (both coaches combined) or both pass.

3. Shoot/Pass Phase

• The Attacker chooses to Shoot or Pass.
• Each team totals the matching values from their cards.
• Coaches may add tokens (+1 per token).
• Both roll a die and add the result.
• Highest total wins (tie goes to the Attacker).

Results:

• Shot win → Goal
• Pass win → Keep possession
• Defence win → Gain possession

4. Discard Phase

• All played cards go to discard piles.
• Refill the Football Pitch with Match Cards (if any remain). Start a new round.

Extra Time is triggered if scores are tied after full time. It has 2 halves, each with 2 rounds, and a limit of 7 cards per round. No new Match Cards are drawn. If still tied, both teams are champions.

Special Rules

• Special Shot / Defence: Each coach secretly picks a card, then both reveal. If blocked, Defender gains the ball. If not, Attacker scores.
• Motivation: Spend tokens to replace a card in play with its upgraded version.
• Fatigue Cards: Played like any card, but have no values or abilities.
• Yellow/Red Cards: Apply penalties. Two yellows = red card = permanent effect.
