Rook, Paper, Scissors! Play

Chess football: Crown Cup

What if the ball moved like chess? Each piece kicks along its own lines, tackles the way it captures, and the keeper can make a save. A match runs three minutes, so a bad idea only costs you a little.

How it plays

  1. Score. Kick the ball into their net. First to five goals wins.
  2. Kick. With the ball, tap a lane: it flies along your piece’s lines.
  3. Tackle. No ball? Move as in chess, get close and take their carrier.

The details

Dribble
A gold dot moves the ball one step instead of a kick.
Lines
A rook kicks straight, a bishop on the diagonal, a knight chips a jump, a queen or the keeper any way.
First in the way gets it
A teammate in the lane is a pass, one of theirs is an interception, and a keeper makes a save. Tap the net for a shot.
Tackled
A queen or rook tackles from the next square, a bishop from two, a knight by its jump. Whoever is tackled sits out two turns.
On the clock
Six seconds a touch, three minutes a match. Level at the end is a golden goal, then penalties.
