Football board game

Abstract

In a board game playing method, an offensive play selection card (PSC) having at least one action is selected and a defensive PSC having at least one action is selected. A die is rolled to yield a first value in connection with the offensive PSC. A marker is positioned on a board in response to an action on the offensive PSC corresponding to the first value. The die is rolled to yield a second value in connection with the defensive PSC. The marker is positioned on the board in response to an action on the defensive PSC corresponding to the second value. The foregoing steps of rolling the die and positioning the marker are repeated until a predetermined condition is satisfied.
