ABSTRACT:
A collectable sports card board game comprising a game board divided into a plurality of hoizontally and vertically disposed rows of rectangles constituting a matrix. Indicia along the top of the vertical rows and down the side of the horizontal rows describe the coordinates by which each rectangle within the matrix can be identified. Denoted within each rectangle in the matrix there is a monetary value. A sports figure collectable card, held within a clear plastic sleeve with player positions and rating numbers denoted on the reverse side, is placed within each of the rectangles of the matrix. Two dice, one of which is a different color than the other, are used to determine the coordinates for randomly selecting one of the rectangles. Each player rolls the dice and is awarded the sports figure card indicated by the resulting coordinates. The first player to put together a team is awarded points. The second player to put together a team is also awarded points, but fewer points than the first player. When all players have constructed the best team they can, either by means of the dice toss or by buying sports figure cards from other players, the team score is determined by totaling the position rating for each card in the team. Points are awarded for each players team total and for cash on hand at the end of the game. The player with the highest point value is declared the winner.
