Goal Rush — How to Play
Goal: Connect 4 of your tokens in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) on a 7×6 grid.
### Controls
Step 1: Choose a token type from your bench (Striker ⚽, Defender 🛡, or Goalkeeper 🧤)
Step 2: Tap a column to drop your token into it (it falls to the lowest open space)
### Token Powers
Striker (×8): If an opponent's token is directly below and the space below *that* is empty, it pushes the opponent's token down one row
Defender (×2): Blocks the column you dropped into — your opponent can't use it next turn (🚫 indicator)
Goalkeeper (×2): Swaps with an adjacent enemy token on the same row (prefers swapping left if both sides have enemies)
### Key Mechanics
Blocked columns show a 🚫 marker — your block expires after the opponent's turn
Each player has limited tokens: 8 Strikers, 2 Defenders, 2 Goalkeepers — spend wisely!
Token powers can create gaps in columns and disrupt formations
### Win/Draw
Win: First to connect 4 of your tokens in any direction
Draw: If the current player has no legal moves (no tokens left or all columns full/blocked)
