GAME mechanics

• Campaign / Card Driven Battles - In Eleven, battles and major decisions are guided by cards acquired throughout the game. Each card represents a strategy, move or tactical decision that can influence the outcome of matches. This system makes each match unique, based on the hand of cards you have.
• Data Scrolling - Similar to a board game, rolling the dice in Eleven determines certain random events, such as the performance of players in a specific match or unusual events during the club's week. This randomness adds an element of surprise to every decision made.
• Scenario / Mission / Campaign - The game offers various scenarios and missions that make up a global campaign. Each mission has specific objectives, such as winning a championship or developing a young talent in the youth ranks, offering a structured narrative and goals for the player to achieve.
• Collecting Sets - As you progress, you can collect sets of cards or items that offer bonuses when completed. These sets can improve the team's performance, increase financial resources or unlock new strategic possibilities.
• Open Buy - The transfer market in Eleven works in an open way, allowing you to buy players, staff or even specific cards at any time. This gives you strategic freedom to create the ideal team by adapting to the club's current needs.
• Combination - Combining certain cards or players can generate positive effects, such as new skills for the players or improvements to the club's infrastructure. Mastering these mechanics is crucial to optimizing performance and achieving campaign objectives.
• Commit Forces - When managing the team, you'll need to decide when to commit your forces, whether it's prioritizing specific competitions or preparing key players for decisive matches. These mechanics require a careful balance between immediate success and long-term planning.
• Automatic Resource Growth - Some resources, such as club money, player morale and popularity, grow automatically based on the player's performance and decisions. This passive growth requires efficient management in order to maximize earnings and maximize future opportunities.
