Paper Football
A pencil-drawn schoolyard football duel.
This is the pencil-and-paper grid game also called paper soccer: draw a unique path for the ball and reach the far goal. Unlike bounce-turn versions, this one switches players after every move. Play online, locally, or against the computer.

Common questions
- How do you move in Paper Soccer?
- Take turns moving the ball to an adjacent point on the grid by drawing a line that has not been used before.
- How do you win Paper Soccer?
- Move the ball into the far goal, or win when your opponent has no unused legal line to draw.
- Does Paper Soccer give you another turn when the ball bounces?
- No. In this Paper Football version, players switch turns after every legal line. A bounce off a used point or the field edge does not give an extra move.
- Can two people play Paper Soccer online?
- Yes. Start a private two-player room to play online, take turns on one device, or play against the computer.
