Abstract
The present invention relates to apparatus for an interactive board game which closely resembles American football, together with the method of playing the game. A game board is included which is marked off with hash marks in a manner similar to American football, distinguished primarily by the presentation of a penalty zone in the center of the board separating two 50-yard fields of play. Game pieces, which closely resemble figurines in football dress, represent opposing teams which are moved in accordance with instructions on game cards or, alternatively, by the number on dice, and a missile, configured to have the general appearance of a football is used for field goals and extra points, such as by flicking the missile with one's finger from a predetermined position to project the missile through opposing goal posts.
