A game simulating professional football is disclosed. An offense team chooses a play card. A defense team attempts to guess which play the offense has chosen. The degree of success in this attempt is assessed. The degree of success together with a random number obtained by a selector are both used to locate the play result from various probability result charts. The results are based on real events analogous to the degree of success the defense has in guessing what the offense will do.
A simulated football game apparatus includes a game board on which is depicted a standard football playing field, and a game piece movable on the game board to indicate the position of the football on the playing field. A first set of playing cards is provided with each card representing an offensive player. A second set of playing cards is provided with each card representing a defensive player. Each card of the two sets of cards includes a group of numbers. A chance number selector operates on each play to produce a first number corresponding to one of the group of numbers on the cards. A team tendencies booklet indicates the relative strengths of an offense and a defense of a first team in relation to a second team of the teams facing each other. A plurality of first charts is provided, each of which is divided into a plurality of sections including a group of numbers for a particular play such as a pass play attempted at a particular section of the field. The result of the given play is determined by the first number produced by the selector, the first number corresponding to a second number which is one of the group of numbers on one of the playing cards and the second number in turn corresponds to a third number which is one of the group of numbers on one of the first charts to secure the result of a play.
