Cartagol: Football Card Career

From the Devs

Live the life of a footballer — from your own room, a cork board and a second-division shirt, to the biggest nights in Europe. And play every single match with cards.

EVERY MATCH IS A HAND OF CARDS

No simulation slider, no auto-play. On matchday you sit at the table:

• Draw from your own deck and build poker hands — pairs, straights, flushes. CHIPS × MULT decides the strength of every move.

• Your opponent plays real hands from their own deck. Every move pushes a tug-of-war bar: push it far enough and it's a GOAL — let them push back and the away end goes quiet.

• Four suits shape how you score: POWER, STRIKE, FLAIR and PASS. Strike-heavy hands finish chances, pass-built goals become assists, physical hands break the opponent's move in half.

• Eight hands per match and a handful of swaps — spend them like they're minutes on the clock.

• Two-legged European nights, and when it all ends level: penalty shootouts, card against card.

YOUR DECK IS YOUR CAREER

• One deck follows you through your entire career.

• Upgrade single cards with stamps — lucky, golden, steel, glass, extra chips, extra mult.

• Level up your hands until a humble Pair hits like a Straight.

• Your player's skills unlock deck upgrades: development doesn't inflate numbers, it opens doors.

BUILD YOUR JOKER TABLE

• 40 jokers across three rarity tiers, each bending the rules of the match in its own way.

• Up to five on your table, all active, all stacking. Some sign short contracts and walk away — keep your table alive.

• Chips are the only currency, and only playing earns them. Spend them in the magazine on your desk: jokers, card packs, hand upgrades, season vouchers.

A CAREER THAT FEELS ALIVE

• 6 top leagues and their second divisions — promotion, relegation, and over 100 clubs.

• Transfer windows with real negotiation drama: offers arrive, wait, and get withdrawn.

• Contracts, wage talks and boardroom meetings. Earn your coach's trust week by week.

• European competitions with a league phase, knockout rounds and finals.

• A real season calendar on your wall — match by match, week by week.

YOUR ROOM IS YOUR HUB

Everything happens in your own room, on real objects:

• A cork board with hand-pinned league standings and fixture notes.

• A green chalkboard that runs your matchday — play or simulate, your call.

• A retro 90s desktop computer: stats, transfer offers, social media, and decades of league history in the archive.

• A magazine on the desk: your collection, your deck, and the market between its pages.

• A trophy shelf that slowly fills, and a shirt on the wall for every club you've played for.

• A training ground with card puzzles to sharpen your skills.

THE WORLD REACTS TO YOU

• A living social media feed: fans celebrate you, mock you, and turn on you when form dips.

• Press rumors, transfer gossip, title race hysteria and end-of-season verdicts.

• A market value graph that rises and falls with your real performances.

Start as a nobody. Retire as a legend. Or don't — that part is up to your cards.
