This Game is a Football World Cup tournament simulator. As in real football, your success depends not only on the skills of your players but also on your managing, financial abilities and on how lucky you are. The World Cup 2018 is held in Russia, so all game events take place in Russian cities.

First, you choose your teams: there are 32 national football teams in the game; each team possesses its own unique skill and level of such features as: Team Power, Fans Power, Mood, Luck. Then you decide what real property would you like to rent before the game starts. Initially, each player has 200 football rubles. A player can rent an Airport, a Hotel, a Stadium, a Bar or a Gym on this money. All these objects may bring money to their owners as well as increase their team’s chances on winning matches. The prices of the property may vary, depending on the city. The game will start as soon as all players decide they have purchased enough.
Further on, purchases can be made after EACH round, in EACH group and after EACH play-off match.

The tournament schedule is the same as in real football:

32 teams distribute in 8 groups and play 3 tours each vs each in the group. In group matches: victory – 3 points, tie – 1 point, defeat – 0 points. Two teams scored the highest number of points qualify The next step is the play-off tournament for those 16 teams who qualified. There cannot be ties on this stage. If a game is tied at the end of regulation time, penalty shootouts are used to decide the winner. At the end there are only two teams left, who play the final match. The winner gets the World Cup.

Matches are played according to team’s features: Team Power, Fans Power, Mood, Luck. Each of the four features is compared. If a team has a higher level of a particular feature – this team scores a goal. If the level is the same, nobody scores. During the game players will have many chances to increase levels of these features, and they should use them wisely.
