KIX is a fun, simple, quick to play tactical two player football(soccer) card game. It is won (like in football) by scoring more goals than your opponent.
Players start with a hand of cards and in each play a card is selected from the player's hands and played simultaneously. To score a goal you simply have to win a Midfield play, then successfully Attack their Defence and finally get a Strike past their Goalkeeper. Play returns to Midfield when any Attack fails or a goal is scored and the match continues. It only takes 3 cards to score so you never safe till the very end of the match when all the cards are used up.
The 5-a-side version of the rules is simple enough for younger players and the full tactical 11-a-side game brings a more tactical and varied gaming experience for the more competitive gamers amongst us.
The playing box allows KIX to be played on the go, i.e. In the car, on the bus in all those places not many good games can reach.
