Strat-O-Matic College Football (1976)

About this game

There were two versions of this game - the first, in the mid-1970s, featured great teams but no players - somewhat like Bowl Bound, only using a Strat-O-Matic game engine. The second version, in the mid-1980s, featured 48 teams from the previous season and individual players, and played more like the conventional Strat-O-Matic Pro Football game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 11 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
