Not only am I a football historian but I am also a board game geek. That game looks awesome! (For its era).

Nice. First and Goal is the most realistic "modern" football game I've seen which I would love to get my hand on.

Played that game a ton when I was 12 ... loved it! We used to keep stats, too.SeahawkFever wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2026 12:25 am Apparently there was this football game from Mattel in 1972 where one player picks offensive plays and another picks a defense.
