GoalDeck is a single-player roguelike deck-building card game where you step into the coach's boots. Build a squad, outsmart your rivals, and handle the locker room — because in football, talent is only half the story. Every run is a new tournament. Every cup is tougher than the last. Lose, and you start from scratch — win, and glory awaits. ⚽ BUILD YOUR SQUAD Scout 120+ football cards across four rarity tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Legend. Open packs, hunt the scout shop for specific players, and shape a deck around your tactical identity. Every card earns its spot. 🎴 STACK MANAGER CARDS Manager Cards are the soul of your run. These powerful modifiers reshape the rules in your favor — boost every attacker in the attack zone, convert defense into score, chain combos across rounds, and more. Combine them creatively and watch your squad break the game. No two runs play the same. 🗣️ BE THE COACH — HANDLE THE EGOS You're not just building a deck. You're managing personalities. Star players expect to start. Veterans demand respect. Benchwarmers grow resentful. Between matches, face Reigns-style dilemmas where every choice ripples through your squad — keep a legend happy and risk your tactics, or bench the diva and watch them walk out of your run forever. Man-management is a skill. Learn it or lose them. 📈 UPGRADE YOUR PLAYERS Enhance individual player cards with upgrades that permanently raise stats, unlock traits, or turn a Bronze benchwarmer into a match-winner. Build synergies between your upgrades and your Managers to craft truly broken squads. 🧠 THINK TACTICALLY Place players across three field zones — Attack, Midfield, and Defense — each with unique stat multipliers. Push a striker forward for 2× attack, or hold the line with a defender at 2× defense. Every placement is a calculated risk. ⚡ MANAGE ENERGY Each player has limited stamina and tires every round. Fresh legs win matches — know when to unleash your stars and when to save them for the final whistle. 🏆 CONQUER ALL 8 CUPS Climb through 8 full tournaments, each tougher than the last. Every cup brings escalating AI opponents, richer prize pools, and deeper strategic demands. Fight through Quarter Finals, Semi Finals, and Finals in every competition — and prove you can lift them all. 🎁 OPEN PACKS, CHASE LEGENDS Six pack tiers with escalating rarity odds. Superior packs roll for upgrades to higher tiers — will you play it safe with Bronze, or gamble a Superior Gold for a shot at pulling a Legend?
