Havent played in a few months, but when we got it I played with my boys often. Ages 11-15. now that football is starting I see us playing this again. Very easy to learn and play. It is almost like techno howl on a gameboard, except I seem to score more. Definitely recommend!

Bought this as a birthday gift for my seven year old son who is a big football fan. This game is awesome - he loves it and it is a fast enough pace of a game that I don't get tired playing it with him. He also even plays this like solitaire occasionally when all of us are footballed out. I highly recommend this game - it is good quality and great fun!

It was fun, simple to learn and play, but I like Quickhit better. Too bad they got rid of it.

5 out of 5 stars ***** Better than expected, January 20, 2014, By Gina Platt

read the review...

My son asked for the NFL Game Day for Christmas and I thought it would be a nice add on gift. It's actually one of his favorite gifts he received...even over a couple of video games. We've enjoyed playing as a family quite a bit. You do need to understand football to really play well with strategy and not just luck.

5 out of 5 stars ***** easy to play - kids aged 5+ like it, January 11, 2014, By Thumb Hang

read the review...

bought this board game for me and my 7 year old daughter. after reading the instruction once, everybody can play this game. rule knowledge not really needed. my 5 year old son is also interested in playing this game. you don't really need to read what's written on the play cards because one can choose a play type by color scheme. run = green, pass = blue, interception = red, penalty/flag = yellow,... yardage and stuff is written in big letters. all you need is luck and a bit of strategy to win. it seems to me the easiest game on this planet and therefor the funniest one because you can start immediately. No long pre game duties... just play. The game '1st down' has nearly the same rules but is a lot harder to play.

5 out of 5 stars ***** My 9-yo son LOVES this game, January 3, 2014, By Ghost Reader "Mom22boys" (Minnesota)

read the review...

My son is a football fanatic, and loves this game. It's easy to learn how to play, just take a few minutes to read through the directions (each card you draw basically tells you what to do). You should have a concept of how football works before playing, though. My husband and son played it together when he first got it for Christmas. After a few times through, my son just wanted to play on his own. He made up a whole bracket and is working his way through each set of teams toward "The Super Bowl". So - if your kids are into football, they can come up with their own ways to play with this game. I like that the ball is magnetic, so it sticks to the board. The game itself is of good quality. Purchase with confidence.

5 out of 5 stars ***** Great board game - different from other board games, December 6, 2013, By R. Leiner (Chicago, IL)

read the review...

Got this for my 9 year old son for a Chanukah gift and it's been a hit. We are both enjoying this game a lot. It's easy to learn to play and you can play for as little or as long as you'd like. Even my 12 year old daughter is really enjoying it. The game is well constructed and the rules are simple and well explained. Another thing I like is that it's really different from other boards game on the market. Great game!

5 out of 5 stars ***** NFL Game Day Review October 23, 2013, By wyrdthing2013

read the review...

So I just picked this new board game up from “Fanzz” retail store for $30 and Its published by Fremont Die and is an officially licensed product of the National Football League. The age range states 9+, but I think a well versed 7-8 year old could play given their knowledge on the sport and how its played. 2-4 players can play, you might wonder how 3-4 can play, given its a one team vs. one team sport, but you would have one person play offensive for your team and the other plays defense for it. Same applies for the other team. It doesn’t state these rules in the directions, but its the only way right off I figured four can play with respectively the same amount of turns, responsibilities & fairness. 3 players would just be one person controlling their whole team where as the other two would divide their team up as mentioned above. I also feel a solitary game could be run, however “luck of the draw/dice” does determine more of the results than when working against another player. You can however choose to allow yourself to choose the cards you play from your hand of your team and allow the random draw from top of the opposing deck to be drawn without looking, that way you never know what your up against. I played a solo game just to test out the rules and mechanics of the game and actually enjoyed the play through. So solo again can be done with a little ingenuity on your part but no rules again are provided in the instructions for it. The quality of the components are well made and should last a while given you don’t bend the team logo magnets that you use to customize the end zones. There are all 32 teams and they come in the form of a sheet with perforations that are simple to remove from one another and doesn’t take longer than 5-10 mins to separate them all. I didn’t have any tears or snags while separating and the graphics didn’t peal or come undone. The remaining components are 5 penny sized clear disks used for score/downs tracking. A magnetic football and a magnetic down marker, that does require you to put a sticker on it, but its not difficult. A basic 6-sided white dice is included, I would of liked a custom NFL related die but that’s just me. But obviously any 6 sided die can be used, so finding a die with your team colors shouldn’t be too hard if you did an internet search or visit your local gameboard/hobby retail store. So the components are pretty easy to replace if need be, the magnetic football, down marker and team logos on the other hand would require an email to the publisher for game piece replacements. However, I’ve never emailed or tried their customer service before regarding component replacement so don’t quote me on that procedure, I’m merely just basing that method with other game companies I’ve dealt with in the past for obtaining replacement pieces. The cards are well made, simple to read and not too thick or paper thin. They are as everything else, well made and of quality. The board has minor cosmetic problems, again its just my opinion and none of this deters or hinders the game play or enjoyment. The board obviously has an underlay of magnets to allow the game pieces to “stick” to one another, but the game board creases are a bit “bulgy” in areas and not flush. The graphics depict a red side and a blue side of random spectators and maybe adding custom “fans” as a magnet would add to the customization of the game and truly show off your team spirit during play. Having a generic red/blue side with blurry faces/bodies is again a cosmetic issue that does nothing for the overall quality or functionality of the game. They could of just removed them all together and put crib sheet notes their of quick reference game instructions/steps, But again its easily approved and gotten over. The instructions come in at only 4 pages and its a quick read through. It captures the essence of football and its too the point. No fluff or extra rules, its football at its finest. The game captures those nail biting moments and those jump up and yell out loud victories or fails. I personally think this is the best NFL board game to date. Any fan or even someone who wants to learn what the sport is about will enjoy this game. Clocking in at 1 1/2 hours for a full game, you could cut it in half for a quick 30-45 min game if your pressed for time. But I can’t think of any negative mark downs on this game. I do hope they make an expansion pack where they add some more offensive/defensive cards of maybe some historic & legendary maneuvers and plays, adding that element of those rare “Hail Mary” throws or Devastating bone crushing tackles, but again there are plenty of cards in the game, I’m not complaining on card count what so ever, I can guarantee you’ll never play the same game twice….ever! Unless you stage the cards. Regardless of future expansions or not I can’t think of any reason not to get this game, other than you hating sports or hating NFL football. The game truly does represent what it advertises, it IS “The Ultimate Football Board Game”! So get your game face on and wear your team colors, cause its Game Night Tonight!!!

4 out of 5 stars **** More luck than strategy - could be improved, but still a fun game, Jaunuary 1, 2014 By L. Lim

read the review...

I (or rather, Santa) just got this for my 7 year old son for Christmas. He enjoys it, and the game play is well thought-out. However, I feel that there is little strategy involved. When you're on offense, you've got a choice a variety of plays - runs, passes, draws, play actions - and the defense has a variety of defenses. If the player on offense chooses a run play and the defense chooses a pass defense, then the offense picks up all the yards on the card. If the defense chooses the correct defense, there's no gain (or an interception or fumble or a handful of other outcomes). My issue is this: all the offense cards are "big yardage" cards - the minimum gain for either run or pass is 10 yards. Yes, there are certain defensive plays that can cut the gain in half, but these are relatively few in number. So even if someone is facing a 3rd and 20, if he's holding a 25 yard run card, he can play that and still pick up the first down, whereas in "real" football this would call for a pass play. There's often very little reason to punt, because usually you're holding a card that, if the defense guesses incorrectly, would lead to first down. This game would be improved if the potential yards weren't always so great - for example, adding 5 yard run cards, which would require players to think a little harder about how to play both offense and defense. But then we wouldn't see scores of 77-63 - and big scores are part of the fun! Still, this is an enjoyable game. Older children might not find it as engaging, but the younger set will like it.
