# Gameplay ## Concept The concept of OVAL3 is to collect player cards, participate in competitions and win rewards according to your ranking in the weekly tournaments. OVAL3's offers an exciting and competitive experience for players to showcase their strategic prowess in the world of rugby trading card games. To participate in the weekly tournaments, players must assemble a team consisting of a minimum of five rugby player cards. These player cards represent the backbone of the team, each with their own unique set of skills, attributes, and abilities that directly impact gameplay. In addition to the player cards, participants have the option to enhance their team's performance by including accessory cards, such as resource and booster cards. Resource cards can provide valuable in-game advantages, such as extra points or special abilities, or tactical boosts, while booster cards can amplify the abilities of player cards, unleashing their full potential on the field. These optional accessory cards brings fantasy into the game by add an additional layer of strategic depth, enabling players to fine-tune their tactics and exploit synergies between different card types. {% hint style="info" %} The final scores for a game week are derived from various factors, including player performances (realtime player stats and match outcomes provided by a renowned sports stats provider) and any bonuses or penalties associated with the accessory cards used {% endhint %} At the end of each gameweek, the players' final scores are calculated by aggregating the scores obtained from the cards (Player, resource and boosters) used in their team composition.
