How to play SLEVEN

SLEVEN is a card-tactical football manager in your browser. You build a club from scratch, collect a squad of player-cards and win matches like a turn-based card game. This guide walks you through the first steps.

Getting started

The game runs right in your browser — nothing to download. On your first visit you create your club: pick a name, a crest and colours. A starting budget and a base squad are already granted, so you can play straight away.

The core loop

Your progress is built on a short loop you repeat day by day:

  1. Build your squad — set your 11 players by position and pick a tactic.
  2. Play the match — a turn-based card game against a rival club.
  3. Train your players — spend training to raise their stats.
  4. Move to the next day — the next fixture, club events, the market.

How the card match works

A match is not a simulation but a tactical game. It is a series of situations: attack, counter, set piece and defence. In each one you assign your players to slots — and the outcome depends on their stats, your tactic and your decisions. The shown success percentage is honest: it matches the real probability.

Squad, tactics and positions

Your squad has 11 starters plus a bench. Every card is a position (goalkeeper, defence, midfield, attack), a set of stats and a character. Picking the right shape for the opponent matters more than just fielding the most expensive cards.

Development and transfers

Between matches players grow through training, and you strengthen the squad on the transfer market. Win, and you climb the divisions season after season.
