The match itself relies heavily on a dynamic element that can flip a game in an instant, yet it also offers several options that can change the course of a single encounter.
One clear objective behind the Kings League format is to keep the emotion of every game intact until the final whistle, with dramatic twists and genuine surprises that heighten interest. To make this happen, the league introduced a set of cards known as secret weapons, designed to add strategic unpredictability at pivotal moments.
What are the cards that change the rules in Kings League 2023, what are they and how and when can they be used
These secret weapon cards can be drawn only once per match and they unlock a range of game-changing options: a penalty awarded to the team taking the kick (including presidents’ bonuses), a double value for the next two minutes of play, the exclusion of an opposing player from selection during the same window, a wildcard, a draw card that neutralizes the opponent’s weapon if both sides draw it simultaneously, or a shooting card that mirrors a penalty shootout, where kickers resume from the center circle and must strike the ball without entering the penalty area.
Put differently, a team trailing by two goals could suddenly swing the result if it draws the double-goal value card and converts within the two-minute window.
The most used cards in the Kings League
In practice, during the regular phase the cards see the highest frequency of use in this order: the exclusion of a rival player, the double value of a goal, the center-circle shootout, and finally the presidents’ penalty, which was added to the system later.
