3 Coins At School turns a schoolyard-style coin challenge into a compact contest of attack and defense. It supports both single-player and multiplayer play, with players taking alternating turns rather than acting at once. The goal is clear: the first player to score five times wins, giving each exchange a direct route toward the finish.
Attacking unfolds as a sequence of physical coin maneuvers. A player uses a Euro coin to break two 20-cent coins, chooses one to begin the next step, and can intersect the remaining pair to move closer to the opponent’s box before striking. That middle maneuver is optional: skipping it means attacking from farther away, which makes scoring more difficult. On defense, the opposing player tries to stop the strike by moving a middle finger, an unusually tactile gesture that sets this casual simulation apart from a conventional turn-based sports game.
The alternating format makes the game’s small-scale duel central to its identity: one player sets up and aims an attack while the other responds on defense.
