ABSTRACT:
An entertainment apparatus is described for simulating the basic play options of the game of college football. The apparatus includes a gameboard to simulate a football field and includes thereon: space at each end for run or pass options to be indicated thereupon, a football-shaped ball position yardline marker, a first down indicator, an individual down indicator, and two play designation markers. Two decks of cards provide a plurality of play situations whereby two persons representing offensive and defensive quarterbacks can match wits to move a simulated football back and forth upon the gameboard. A multiplicity of down cards are controlled by the player starting on the offense while a multiplicity of kick cards are controlled by the defensive player. The offensive player, using a shield to hide his choice from view, chooses either a run or a pass and places a play designation marker on the appropriate space on the gameboard to so indicate. The defensive player, on a signal, then attempts to anticipate the offensive play. The outcome is determined by comparing the offensive call with the defensive guess. Correct defensive guesses are statistically more favorable for the defensive player while incorrect defensive guesses favor the offensive player.
