Rugby Kenya: the Kenyan rugby game you can play in your browser
Rugby Kenya is a free rugby game made in Kenya, for everyone who loves the game. Pick 15-a-side or sevens, lead one of eight Kenyan clubs through the Kenya Cup, and play at nine grounds from the coast to the highlands. There is nothing to download: it runs in your web browser on a computer, a phone or a tablet.
Features
- Fifteen-a-side and seven-a-side rugby union, each with its own rules, pace and scoring.
- The Kenya Cup: seven league rounds against the other seven clubs, then a final, with a league table and bonus points.
- Nine invented Kenyan grounds: a classic club ground in Nairobi, a coastal oval with palms and the sea, a showground with marquees and bunting, lakeside grounds, highland parks with pine ridges, and a national stadium for finals.
- Real rugby moments: tackles, rucks, scrums you feed and hook, lineouts with short, middle and long throws, conversions, penalties, offside and forward-pass rulings.
- Instant replays after every try and live match commentary.
- A tutorial with a coach that teaches the controls in seventeen short exercises.
- Play at day, dusk or night under floodlights, on keyboard, gamepad or touch screen.
How to play
Move with the arrow keys or WASD and hold Shift to sprint. Pass left or right with Q and E, kick with K, tackle with L, and fend or sidestep with F. On a phone, use the on-screen stick and buttons. The tutorial walks you through every control.
