How it plays
Face down. Then the whistle.
Six turns, three lanes, one manager across the touchline. Every turn you get a little more Momentum to spend, and nobody sees your plays until the whistle goes.
Blow the whistle
Both sides reveal together. Abilities fire, ratings swing, and every lane hides a Match Condition.

Questions
Before kick-off.
Is Gaffer really free?
Yes. Gaffer is free to download and play, with no ads and no in-app purchases. Every player is unlocked by playing.
Do I need to be online?
No. Every match plays offline. Being online only adds the optional extras: the Longest Daily Streak leaderboard, achievements and a copy of your progress.
How long does a match take?
About three minutes. A match is six turns, or seven when Stoppage Time comes into play.
What is the Daily Fixture?
One fixture a day, the same for every player. Win, lose or draw, playing it keeps your streak going, and a Rest Day covers the odd day you miss. You can share how it went in a grid that gives nothing away.
Will my progress move to a new phone?
On iPhone your progress is kept in iCloud, so a new iPhone signed in to the same Apple Account picks up where you left off. On Android, signing in to Google Play Games keeps a saved game you can restore.
Does the computer cheat?
No. Your rival never sees your hand, and at Full Time you can see theirs.
Which phones can play it?
iPhones with iOS 16.6 or later, and Android phones.
I need help with something.
The support page answers the common questions, and you can always email slotileapp@gmail.com.
Kick off.
Free on iPhone and Android. No ads, no purchases, and your first match coaches you through the rest.
