Kickoff is the friendly way to call the scores with your mates. Everyone predicts the exact result of each match before kickoff, then the leaderboard sorts out who got closest once the final whistle blows. Add your group, pass the phone around to take everyone's picks, and lock them in for the matchweek. Points are worked out the same way every time, with a clear breakdown per match, so nobody argues about who really called it. - Predict exact scores before kickoff - Add your whole group on one phone, no accounts to make - Picks lock at kickoff, or early the moment you tap lock - A clear, see-for-yourself points breakdown The season is a built-in fictional league, so the game is ready whenever your group is, with no waiting on real-world results. It is a party game you play with friends in the same room. No money changes hands, just bragging rights. Works fully offline.
