How Furbol Works
Furbol is how you find a football game to play. Someone near you is putting together a game — Furbol gets you a spot in it. Or, if you feel like it, you run the game yourself.
This guide explains what you can do on Furbol, what the rules are, and what happens in the situations most people run into. It’s maintained automatically from the Furbol codebase, so when the app changes, this guide does too.
