APBA Pro Football (1958)

About this game

The game was created in 1958 by Dick Seitz and yearly player card editions have been printed almost every year since. The game attempts to simulate professional football through the use of player ratings, charts, and dice rolling. Every master edition comes with hundreds of player cards which have ratings based on that year's performance. Also included is a football field to track the movement of the ball; many charts to reference in order to determine play results; rules and dice.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
