Football card puzzle for iPhone
Plan the attack
Every level is one moment of play. Chain passes, dribbles, runs and shots from your hand, slip past the red zones and score in a single move.
How it plays
One move.
Three steps.
A 7×9 pitch, your players in white, defenders in red with their interception zones shaded, and a keeper. You plan the whole attack before a single ball is kicked.
2
Chain your cards
Pick a card, then tap a teammate, a cell or a corner of the goal. The move builds up card by card.
3
Watch it play
End with a shot and the attack runs by itself: a goal, or the card where it broke down lights up red.

Ten cards.
No luck.
Each card is one action with a clear rule. Rules never change and every level has a solution checked by a solver, so a failed move always tells you exactly why.

What is Ball Cards?
A football puzzle for iPhone. Each level is one attacking moment on a 7×9 pitch. You plan the whole attack with action cards from your hand, and once the last card is a shot the move plays out by itself.
Is there any luck involved?
No. The rules are fixed and every level has a solution checked by a solver. If a move fails, the card where it broke down is highlighted together with the reason: interception, offside, the wall, a save or the press.
How do I earn three stars?
One star for scoring, one for using no more cards than par, and one for a stylish card played without a hint.
What if I'm stuck on a level?
Tap the light bulb for a hint: it shows the next correct card and its target. Hints recharge for 30 seconds and switch off the style star for that try. Undo and Redo let you rework the move freely.
Does it need the internet or an account?
No. Ball Cards works fully offline, with no sign-in. Your progress is saved only on your iPhone.
Are there ads or in-app purchases?
No ads, no purchases and no in-game currency. Every league, card and puzzle is unlocked by playing.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone with iOS 16 or later, in portrait. The app is in English.
