• 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.

Overview

• 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.

Quick Start

• 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.

Important Points

• 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!

Super Stars

• 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

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.

• 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!
