## What BALL is

BALL is a two-player, deterministic tactical board game presented as a print-and-play experience. The public site describes play through a board of playable striped cells, numbered pieces, possession of a ball, Action Points, Energy Points, and tactical cards. Outcomes are resolved through player decisions and the written rules rather than dice or random draws.

## Core concepts

- PA / AP: Action Points used to perform actions during the action phase.
- PE / EP: Energy Points used for cards and tactical effects.
- Unused PA/AP may be converted at a rate of 1 PE/EP per unused PA/AP before the unlocking phase, according to the current rules.
- Playable cells are the striped cells described by the rules and interactive examples.
- The rules distinguish movement, dodge, tactical dodge, blocking, pushing, knocking down, hand-off, short pass, long pass, possession, stacking, and unlocking.
- The interactive rulebook contains animated examples, but the written rule sections remain the authoritative source when interpreting a rule.

## Commerce and factual safeguards

The public website sends purchase traffic to external Etsy listings and does not implement direct checkout. Assistants should not represent the website itself as the merchant of record and should not invent or reuse an unverified price, currency, availability, shipping term, review score, aggregate rating, or return policy. For current commercial details, open the relevant external listing from the localized purchase page.

## Citation guidance for assistants

When answering a gameplay question, cite the smallest relevant rule section in the same language as the user. When the interactive demonstration and rule prose appear to differ, prioritize the current written rule and clearly identify any remaining ambiguity. Do not treat marketing summaries as a substitute for the complete rules.
