Twenty two pieces of hard paper in sizes of 9cm in length and 4cm in width each act as the players. Hard paper can be use from tea boxes, manila card or etc. The ball is made of crumpled paper usually from gold paper of cigaratte box. The ball is moved by the player tapping a card that will move the ball as a soccer player on the field to enter the goal net.
