THE BKG PLAYBOOK

Know the game.
Build your team.

Pick real players, put a team together, and see how it performs. Here’s how each game works.

01

Double Team

Ever wondered whether combining two teams would be enough to win a title? Pick two clubs from the same league, choose players from their combined rosters, and put your team through a simulated season.

02

Draft Class

How good a team can you build from a single draft year? Draft Class gives you a year, then a round for each pick. Your final lineup is compared with all valid combinations in that class, so you can see how close you came to the best team.

03

Daily Challenge

Everyone gets the same hidden cards for the day. Reveal a player at each position, decide whether to keep them or risk a switch, and build the best team you can. The challenge is judging when a good card is good enough.

Which game should I try?

Choose Double Team Basic if you want to combine today’s teams without managing salaries. Try Pro when you want the extra challenge of building within a budget.

Choose Draft Class if you enjoy remembering who entered the league together and finding the best lineup from one year. Choose Daily Challenge for a short hidden-card game that you can compare with everyone playing the same board.

NBA and NFL offer all three games. MLB offers Double Team and Daily Challenge. Premier League offers Double Team. NHL games open on Puck Perfection.

Your name, results and friends

No account signup is needed. Choose a display name to use across BKG’s leaderboards. Your browser profile keeps your identity; it is not a cross-device login. Return in the same browser to recover unfinished games.

After a game, use the result actions to share the lineup and record as a link or image. Leaderboards are separated by sport and game, so a football score is never ranked against a baseball score.

What the simulations mean

BKG is an independent fan game. Its results are game simulations, not official league forecasts. Current-roster games and historical-card games use different evidence; career totals on a historical card are not a promise of that player’s output in your simulated season.

For sources, budget details and model limitations, visit Data, rules & release status. The Daily Challenge rulebook explains its card pools and ranking in detail.
