ABSTRACT:
A playing card-based simulated football game comprising a plurality of playing cards for at least two players, each of whom represents opposing football teams, the playing cards containing integers and play-controlling indicia for producing, under certain playing conditions, simulated football game plays including "draws", "traps", "bombs", "sacks", "dogs", and "live ball" situations; a plurality of drawing cards housed in a container and retrieved by a player upon notification of the occurrence of a foul, the drawing cards showing the identity of the offending team, the type of foul which occurred and the penalty therefor, all virtually indistinguishable from those actually encountered in the game; a try-kick and field goal chart device comprising a hand-held container and a strip of flat material slidingly received therein, having integers printed thereon, for matching with apertures in the cover to indicate the values of playing cards that may be used to possible insure success of the kick; an elongated strip having a series of apertures formed therein and uniformly spaced therealong to simulate both the American football field of 100 yards asnd the Canadian football field of 110 yards, and further including a plurality of small pegs for insertion in the apertures to mark the start of a drive, the line of scrimmage, and the line-to-gain; and an electronic foul indicator, including a simulated official's whistle, for notifying the players of the simulated occurence of a foul, the occurrences arranged in random patterns simulating the frequency of such fouls in a football game, and the electronic foul indicator controlled by the players during playing of the game.
