Description

Thinking Man's Football is a classic sports game that's all about strategy and a little bit of luck. Designed by Frederick A. Herschler and first published in 1966, this game is easy to learn but challenging to master. Players take turns as the offense and defense, selecting plays and formations simultaneously, which adds a thrilling layer of unpredictability to the game. Each turn, the offense chooses a play, while the defense picks a formation and decides which area to defend. The outcome is determined by a chart and a dice roll, making every play a suspenseful experience. With standard American football rules applying, players must think carefully about their next move to outmaneuver their opponent. This game is perfect for two players who want to engage in a fun and competitive match that will keep them on the edge of their seats for about 90 minutes.
