  • Patent number: 7862044
    Abstract: A simulated football game that may be played using a deck comprising “run,” “pass,” and “catch” cards and other special football cards relating to moments of a football game or using an electronic device simulating such cards. Run cards may be played alone, while pass and catch cards must be played as corresponding pairs having corresponding yardages. An exemplary game allows scoring a touchdown by accumulating a drive of exactly 100 yards or scoring a field goal by playing a “field goal” card once the drive has advanced a predetermined number of yards. Some embodiments include variations of the game ranging from a one-drive game to a complete four quarter game. A specialized deck of cards is provided.
