ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a game in which the participants simulate plays in a football game according to a predetermined set of rules. Two sets of pegs represent various position players on each "football" team. The pegs fit snugly into holes placed equidistantly over an area representing a scaled version of a football field. The football field is made of a rigid flat board. the board is marked with horizontal lines representing yard line intervals which connect a pair of parallel vertical lines representing sidelines. Additionally, two rows of holes are adjacent to one sideline outside the field boundaries. Holes in these rows correspond to yard markers. Marker pegs fit into this row and allow players to keep track of forward progress and first downs. Three uniquely marked dice are provided. One die having an equal number of two distinct markings corresponding to each of two sets of pegs, or teams. The other two dice comprise a number die and a multiplier die. The number facing up on the number die is multiplied by another integer defined by a code. The code is one of three letters placed on the face of multiplier die. Each code letter appears a different number of times on the die faces. Participant rolls dice to determine the sequence and number of player moves its team will receive on a particular play, then moves the player pegs correspondingly.
