Does anybody play NFL/football board games?

[zardon]

Does anybody play football board games or paper-based football sims, there's quite a lot of them like 1st and goal (Youtube: 1st and Goal) and Pizza Football (Boardgamegeek).

There are others from the 70s, 80s like Paydirt and Strat-o-Matic Football?

I know Operation sports is really about video games based sports games, but I thought it might be cool to have a special article covering "cardboard" strategy football games?

Thanks

1st and Goal isn't worth the bye.

If you have 2-3 hours to devote to a game Strat-O-Matic works.

I prefer the 2nd and Ten computer game.

If you're looking for a quick half-hour football card game, check out my Arena for Famous First Downs, an NFL-based microgame I designed and now publish under my Famous Games Co. brand (along with a bunch of other sports microgames).

Here's a shot of the game in play:

And yes, as a lifelong member of Rider Nation, I do want to do a CFL version at some point.
