What's an Atherion? (The Origin Story)
Briar
Hamlin
Skyrax
Boreon
Leona
Forty years ago, on the distant planet of Atheria, scientists were searching the galaxy for signs of intelligent life. One day, they detected a mysterious broadcast from an unknown world. For about 30 minutes, the signal showed a strange game played by humans called Flag Football. Then, without warning, the transmission disappeared. The Atherions tried everything to find the signal again, but it was gone. To this day, they still don't know where Earth is located or who sent the broadcast. All they had was a single half-hour glimpse of the game. Fascinated by what they saw, the five intelligent species of Atheria worked together to reconstruct the rules. Soon, each species formed its own Flag Football team, and a new sport was born across the planet. Over time, the Atherions added their own twist to the game. In order to advance down the field, teams must complete 4 different football plays with the final play earning a touchdown. Strategy, teamwork, and quick thinking became the keys to victory. Now it's your turn to experience the sport that captivated an entire planet. Welcome to Football Duel — Flag Football, the Atherion way! Good luck! 🏈🚀
How to Play:
To start the game, each player is dealt 4 Game Cards. Each 'Item Card' contains 1/4 of two unique Atherions (one top & one bottom)! On your turn, you draw one card, then play down one card. In order to play, you must connect the cards properly where all sides of an Atherion must match! See sample below. If you're unable to play, you must discard a card from your hand.
Scoring Touchdown! See sample below. Once you connect your cards properly and complete all 4 plays (sides) of any Atherion, you score a Touchdown or 6 Points! And once you score, your cards become locked and immune form other players "Turnover" cards! Once you score, those points can not be taken away.
Extra Points: Before starting the game, each player is dealt a "Bonus" Card. Each Bonus Card has 2 Atherions on it. If you complete a touchdown with any of the Atherions on your bonus card, you receive the corresponding extra points (either 1 or 2 points). So you could score up to 8 points total when you score (Touchdown + 2 points bonus conversion)
There's a few other types of 'Game' Cards you can play to make things fun!
BONUS: Before the game, each player is dealt a 'Bonus' card, which contains 2 Atherions. When you score a Touchdown, if the touchdown was either of the Atherions on your Bonus Card, you get to add the extra point value listed to your scoring play! So max scoring play is +8
TURNOVER: Take any played down 'Atherion' Card from an opponent that contains a part of the listed Atherion unless locked complete or immune. You can play the taken card immediately or hold. This is a great way to stall your opponent's scoring drive, and to strengthen your own drive.
IMMUNITY: Play this card and the Item on the card is protected from another player's "Turnover" attempts!
Once you complete all the cards in the draw pile, tally your scores. This completes the half (round 1). Collect he cards, reshuffle/deal and start 2nd half (round 2). Complete 2 halves (2 rounds) to complete the game! Player with the most cumulative points after 2 rounds wins the game! There's a few more details to the rules. To learn more, see Complete Rules
Team Play (2 verses 2): You may play on your play area or your teammate's play area. When you play a 'Swipe' Card, you may swipe a card from either opponent and then play on your play area or your teammate's play area. At the end of the round, tally your combined team points. The team with the most points, after 2 rounds, is the winner!
