Coach and Play Football Deal 6 cards to each player and place the rest into 2 piles The first player to get rid of all his/her cards wins one round Win 4 Rounds to finish the game and be the champion Win extra round by collecting 5 players of your team.

Gameplay Each player places the logo of his team in front of him. The dealer chooses the direction of play (e.g. clockwise). Each player is dealt 6 cards and the remainder of the cards is placed into 2 draw piles. It is forbidden for each player to hide the back of his/her cards. After each round the winner is the dealer and starts the game.

The dealer turns over a top card from one of the 2 piles to begin a discard pile. This is the starting card. The dealer must match this card by playing the same COLOR, same NUMBER, same TEAM or same SPECIAL card. If the player wants to pass or is unable to play, he/she must pick up one card from any pile. This card can be played, or another or the player can pass.

It is possible to play several cards at the same time, if they have same number, same team or same symbol (special cards), regardless of the color(s). It is therefore possible to play combination of number and teams.

Each player can collect his/her 5 players in front of him. It counts as a played card. It is possible to place several players at the same time. These cards are not shuffled at the end of the round, each person keeps his/her own players.

The first to collect his/her 5 players wins one round but it continues if the player still has cards in hand. If 5 players are collected, all cards are shuffled including all collected cards from each player.
