RiPS: A Football Card Game

Football has been distilled down to Run, Pass, & Screen in this high-energy rock-paper-scissors card game.

Each play begins with a hidden intent, revealed as both players lay down their formations. As the play unfolds, cards shift, swapping positions or spinning to reveal new strategies on the fly. Adapt your formation, outmaneuver your opponent, and dominate the gridiron in this fast-paced battle of wits and reflexes!

Football Tactics Simplified

The game distills football into a strategic battle of Run (Rock), Pass (Paper), and Screen (Scissors), mirroring classic RPS mechanics.

01

Hidden Intent, Dynamic Plays

Players first card is their formation as they line up their cards against each other.

As the cards are revealed, they swap positions and spin as they reveal the true play.

02

Adaptive Gameplay

Cards losing can swap positions, changing which card they are lined up against, or they may spin to change up their strategy on the opponent.

03

Fast-Paced Strategic Trickery

Outsmart your opponents with creative play ordering. Or confuse your opponents with random play and nonsense moves and watch the mayhem.
