Abstract: An entertainment apparatus is described for simulating the basic play options of the game of college football. The apparatus includes a gameboard to simulate a football field and includes thereon: space at each end for run or pass options to be indicated thereupon, a football-shaped ball position yardline marker, a first down indicator, an individual down indicator, and two play designation markers. Two decks of cards provide a plurality of play situations whereby two persons representing offensive and defensive quarterbacks can match wits to move a simulated football back and forth upon the gameboard. A multiplicity of down cards are controlled by the player starting on the offense while a multiplicity of kick cards are controlled by the defensive player. The offensive player, using a shield to hide his choice from view, chooses either a run or a pass and places a play designation marker on the appropriate space on the gameboard to so indicate.
