Have you ever lost a game because the rules where biased ?  In Move the Goal line this is a reality.

It's time to become the game it-self and get your revenge!

Manipulate the players by drawing patterns on a 3x3 grid and assign it points. Every time the pattern appears in the game, the players will gain points.

In this game , 4 AI players are playing a cooperative board game which involves placing line cards on a board to form line patterns and shapes. At the beginning, there is only one simple rule which makes the players score points when they form a specific pattern. As the game master, your goal is to make the players score a specific number of points. In order to do this you can set a new rule for the game at each turn, which will make the players gain points depending on the pattern and score that you assign to your rule. The rule will also apply retroactively. You can only add new rules, never remove an old one. You can only submit patterns where all the lines are connected.

Enjoy!

The game is kinda broken, but it seems to be quite fun as a tabletop game so we'll try to develop it in this way.
