How to play — Soccer

You are drafting an all-time soccer roster from real eras. Then the season plays out — and it does not care how famous your picks are, only how good those seasons actually were.

The board

11 seats: LB · CB1 · CB2 · RB · GK · LW · RW · CAM · CM · CDM · FLEX. Attack and Defense both count in the position-weighted team score. You fill the seats in any order.

The rounds

11 rounds. Each spins one real era and lays out that squad with the real numbers on every card. Take the player you trust, seat them, move on. At least one legend era per run, no era repeats, and the sequence is locked by the board seed before your first pick. Re-rolls scale with the board — two on a full board, one on a compact one (six seats or fewer); spend them on dead boards, not decent ones.

The season

38 games. Run the table and it’s 38–0. Every run earns a verdict on your result card, by wins:

Ratings are era-fair — every season is judged against its own peers, and the receipts are printed on the card. The method is published in full: how the ratings work.

The games

Everything from the main rulebook runs here too — Daily, Ranked, Blind, Live, Challenge a Friend, Knockout, Tournaments — with this sport’s own daily board and leaderboard. Full mode rules: the rulebook.
