The players must draw a pitch before play can start. There are two cards that instruct you as to how this might be done, and suggesting that it should be to scale (5 yards to the inch). The other 52 cards relate to moving your ball towards your opponent's goal (whilst he is trying to do the same to you). It is only a card game so no equipment is provided (as in the pitch mentioned earlier and the designer suggests you use buttons for the ball). The object is to be the first to score 4 goals. Scoring a goal usually refers to a move card being played that crosses the goal-line. Every card has a Kevin Keegan football tip on it. The box clearly states that the game is for 2 to 6 players, but the rules only suggest up to 4 players. Either way, it is really a 2 player game.
