About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to step into a futuristic arena with Forceball! If you enjoy fast-paced competition, this card game is right up your alley. Here, the sport of the future unfolds in intense two-player matches, divided into three electrifying periods. The goal is simple but requires strategy: you must alternate between being the attacker and the defender to secure the score. As the attacker, you'll attempt to dribble, pass, and shoot to score a goal. On defense, your focus shifts to blocking, tackling, or intercepting the opponent's play. The best part is that it's not just about 'playing a card and seeing what happens'; there's a constant element of risk. You can attempt special maneuvers for a lucky shot or use the goalie for an incredible save, but watch your ethics! It's possible to commit fouls with illegal moves, but if the referee catches you playing dirty, the consequences could be heavy. The game is highly dynamic, with roles reversing whenever a goal is scored or an interception occurs. Featuring a 56-card deck, it's a complete standalone game, requiring no extra decks or expansions. It's the perfect type of game to slip into your pocket for a quick 15-minute match during a break, or even to organize high-level tournaments among friends. It's fast, direct, and extremely competitive!
