Firstdown Football is a simulation of American Football.

This game is played on a large gameboard (110 cm by 50 cm for big version, or 80cm by 45 cm for smaller version). You can play with 11 "football miniatures" (from Miggle Toy for example), or with 11 tokens representing players.

Firstdown Football is a game of PROGRAMMATION : each turn, you make your own deck of 8 cards. This deck contains 4 "Player" card and 4 "Action" card. Each "Player" card is linked to one "Action" card.

Here is an example of offensive deck :
1) Lineman / Snap.
2) QuarteBack / Diagonal move.
3) Winger / Forward move.
4) QuarterBack / Forward pass.

Your opponent does the same with 8 cards.
Once the decks are made, players from each team act alternatively.

In this game you must anticipate opponent's moves.
