Special Rules

Matches

When a Match card is played, standard play pauses. The player of the card names an eligible opponent. Those two players resolve the Match, playing all Actions they choose. After all cards are played, each Save, Stop, or Block negates one opposing scoring card (or one Goal from a Striker rated for more). The minimum score is nil; an odd half-goal is discounted. The winner of the Match keeps the Thing card for the Match. (If the match is drawn, the Thing card is discarded.)

Match Actions

Match Actions may only be played during a Match.
