Premier Picks

Premier Picks is an unusual card game based around football (soccer). The
game takes the form of a ‘season’ of variable length involving the 20 real-
life Premier League teams of the time (name can be edited, but displayed kits
can’t). Players pick one of the 18 visible cards, to dictate the result of the
match.

There are several different types of cards in the game – your overall aim is
to get more goal cards than the opposition. The other cards include free kicks
(which give you another pick), substitutions (which replace that card with
another), and penalties (in which you have to run the pointer across the
screen, clicking on as many cards as possible – you have a few seconds to find
a goal card). The game is split into 2 halves, and each of those has a card
which immediately ends the half.

Before each half there’s a ‘card reveal’ feature, which, depending on when you
click to stop the pointer, reveals between 1 and 6 cards. This has numerous
tactical implications, and is the main skill aspect in the game.
