Operating (How to Play)

The objective of the game is to accumulate the most points by winning historical FIFA World Cup matches and collecting valuable Panini cards.

Game Flow:

1. Player Turn: On your turn, roll the white die and move your token clockwise around the board.
2. Landing on a Space:
   • Historical FIFA World Cup Match Space: If you land on an unowned match space, you can choose to "win" it by paying its cost in points. If you land on an owned match space, you must challenge the owner.
   • FIFA World Cup 26 Space: Draw a FIFA World Cup 26 card and follow its instructions.
   • Game Changer Space: Draw a Game Changer card and follow its instructions.
   • Other Spaces: Follow the instructions on the space (e.g., "Go to Jail," "Free Parking").
3. Challenging an Opponent: When you land on an opponent's owned historical FIFA World Cup match space, you can challenge them.
   • Both players choose a Panini card from their hand to represent their team for the challenge.
   • Players reveal their chosen cards and compare the offensive and defensive statistics on the back.
   • Roll the green attack die and the red defense die to add modifiers to your chosen player's stats.
   • The player with the higher total (player stat + die roll) wins the challenge. The winner earns points or other benefits as indicated on the match card.
4. Collecting and Trading Cards: Throughout the game, you will collect Panini cards. You can trade cards with other players to build a stronger team.
5. Exclusive Cards: Look for exclusive Gold Cracked Ice, Hat-Trick, and White Money Blast cards for special advantages.

Winning the Game:

The game ends after a predetermined number of rounds (e.g., 3 rounds as indicated on the board's center). The player who has accumulated the most points from winning matches and collecting valuable cards wins the Monopoly Panini Prizm FIFA World Cup 2026!
