Derby Duel

Common Ground - Football Player Grouping Game

Common Ground gives you twelve names and four traits. Every group holds exactly three players, and the shape of the board counts them out for you - the rest is knowing which name belongs where.

How do you play Common Ground?

12 players · 4 groups of 3 · 15s a turn

The four shared traits are written above the board: same club, same nationality, same position. Every group holds THREE names and the empty slots on each row count them out. You work out which trio fits which trait, then pick and confirm. A wrong set only costs your turn; PASSING costs a point.

How do you win Common Ground?

A group is worth AS MANY POINTS AS IT HAS NAMES - three each - and passing costs a point. Higher total wins.

Matchmaking decides which game you play — both players get the same one.

Where the questions come from

Every question and clue is generated from real records in the Derby Duel database. Real match results, squads and season statistics collected from the leagues and cups of six countries - no value is estimated, and nothing that is not in the source turns up in the game.
