Want to play the game?
As promised, here are the official rules to Match Attax. Just like in any football game, the goal is…well…goals!
- Pick your team of 11 players and 3 substitutes.
- Lay your cards face down in formation.
- Flip a coin to see who will go first.
- If your defense outscored their attack, you score – and vice versa.
- Keep a track of your goals at the side of the playing area.
- In the next move, the person who scored gets to go first.
- If both have the same scores, that move is a draw and you choose again.
- At any time during the game, you can switch your cards for one of your subs.
- You can use up to two tactic cards every match if you have them.
