It’s all about your tactics…
With just six player slots to fill, think carefully about the skills you need in your team. It’s up to you whether you balance ball control with attack and defense, or weight your team one way or the other.
Guild Ball’s playbook system also lets you be strategic with attacks. When you make a successful attack, you can choose the result from the options available to your player. Choose to damage, tackle, dodge, push, or take your victim down.
Some power character plays can change the course of the game.
…and your management
Each team starts with a pool of influence. Players use that influence to kick the ball, make an attack, or perform character plays. As coach, it’s your job to allocate influence to players at the start of the turn. During the game, perform actions that excite the crowd to build momentum. Then use that momentum to to perform even more momentous actions.
Be clever in your use of these two resources, and you just might win!
