Overview
• Each one of you is the manager of an indoor soccer team
of 3 meeples.
• We’ll start out by playing a simple version of the game.
• After the warm-up games we’ll add “Super Star” players.
Quick Start
• Come up to the front and get 3 meeples and a rules sheet.
• Play a few 1 vs. 1 matches until you feel comfortable with
the basic rules.
• While playing, think of rules that you would like to add or
modify to make the game more interesting.
Important Points
• This is indoor soccer, not Chess. Keep your turns to
approximately 30 seconds.
• After you finish a game (best 2 out of 3 goals) find
another opponent. Be quick!
• Warm-up for about 15 minutes.
Super Stars
• Put a silver star sticker on one of your meeples. He or she
is now your Super Star player!
• Give your player a name.
• Give your player a special ability. Be creative!
Tournament Play
• After each game talk to your opponent about the relative
power difference between your two Super Stars.
• What can you do to make them balanced?
• Nerf or strengthen? Go for strengthen!
Tournament Play
• Play as many games as possible.
• Find a new opponent after each game. Try to play
someone who is not the same color as you.
• The design goal is to see if we can balance all the Super
Stars in the room.
Final Round
• Pair up with someone that has your team color.
• You each control your own Super Star and have shared
control over one average player.
• May the best team win!
