What is Paper Soccer?

Paper Soccer (piłkarzyki na kartce) is a two-player pen-and-paper strategy game: you move a ball dot to dot across a squared pitch and try to score in your opponent's goal.

  • The pitch is usually 8×10 squares with 2×1 goals; the ball starts on the centre dot.
  • One move = one line to a neighbouring dot, straight or diagonal; lines can never be reused.
  • End your line on a used point or the pitch edge and you bounce: you immediately move again.
  • You win by scoring into the opponent’s goal — or when the opponent has no legal move.
