About the Game

CORE GAMEPLAY LOOP

Each play, both teams select a play and up to 1 modifier for the play. After the snap, these plays resolve against each other, taking into account play strength, scheme advantages/disadvantages, Coach/Player perks, and more.

AFTER THE SNAP

Watch the calculation play out in real time, as the bar wavers, and players on-field play out the play.

GAUNTLET MODE - ROGUELIKE CHALLENGE

In Gauntlet mode, you play offense only with increasingly difficult targets and opponents. Improve your deck via adding, removing and upgrading cards. 

Build powerful synergies between coach, player, modifier, and relic bonuses!

SEASON MODE - PLAY BOTH SIDES

Build and manage 2 separate decks, offense and defense. 

COACHES AND STAR PLAYERS

Coaches and Star Players each have their own bonus effects that will change the way snaps play out.

Unlock new Coaches as you collect achievements in the game!

BY THE NUMBERS

- 150+ play and modifier cards across 3 tiers.

- 6 unique coaches with distinct playstyles.

- 30 star players with game-changing passives.
