Neurogol is a football simulation which can be played by two people or by two teams of two players each. Each team has 11 players on the field, plus five substitutes (there are also other modes with fewer players). Each player has a defined position. Depending on the positions, the players have different movement options, which are those of chess pieces. The goalkeeper moves like the king, the forward like the queen, etc. On each turn, a team can move the ball up to three times (less if the opponent intercepts it), trying to move it into the opponent's goal.
