How to play

Tap it to throw a spiral pass.

Notes

It is often called a pigskin, though today it is made of cowhide or rubber.

Tap it to throw a spiral: it flies up nose first, spinning fast around its long middle line, tips over at the top and lands with a wobble. The spin is what makes a good pass: like a spinning top, a spinning ball holds its direction and cuts cleanly through the air. Pick the color of the leather in the Splash tab.
