What to Expect

In 1:0, players use a deck of 56 cards featuring 21 different football actions. Players take turns playing cards in a logical sequence starting with a Kick-Off card. A checklist helps determine which action cards are valid next. The goal is to be the first to discard all cards and score points, while others receive negative points for remaining cards.

1:0 is suitable for football fans and card players who enjoy simple hand management mechanics. It is a family game without specified age or duration, ideal for those who prefer straightforward, thematic gameplay without complex rules.

How It Works
