About Penalty!

Very simply, this is a card-and-board simulation of football (a.k.a. Soccer). A ball moves on the board as a result of card play by the players (who team up when more than two play). Kick off, free kicks, penalty kicks, goalkeepers, corner kicks, clearing kicks --it's all in there in a neat, fast-playing package. The aim of the game is to score the most number of goals at the end of the game. It plays with cards that allow players to kick the ball and score goals.
