Update: This set has been updated to a single deck that includes all three offensive play calling styles: Run heavy, Balanced, and Pass Heavy. This leads to more efficient game play and less printing while still keeping all of the depth of the original cards. The cards also feature random numbers for a d12, d10, and d20 roll so you can use the FACs to play the drive by drive version without dice.


Welcome to the fast-action version of the popular tabletop football game, Play Action Football. This unique package enables you to burn through Play Action Football games in half the time without losing any of the football action you've come to love. This is what you'll get in this purchase:


  • Fast Action Cards (64 poker-sized cards). Each card includes three offensive play styles.
  • Fast Action Card backs (to print the logo on the back of the FACs)
  • 1983 NFL team cards (28 poker-sized cards)
  • Express version game guide
  • Drive by drive basic chart
  • Drive by drive advanced chart
  • Drive by drive game guide
  • Fictional team creation charts
  • Fictional team creation game guide
  • Blank cards for use with fictional teams


Why is there an Express version?


Play Action Football Express was created in collaboration with Jason Graham, a fellow tabletop game designer and football aficionado. Jason created a set of fast action cards for use with Play Action Football and we worked together to craft the FACs into an entire fast-play package. The Express version brings together all the excitement of Play Action Football with the speed of FACs and the new drive by drive game charts.


Note: The FACs will be the same for any Express season purchase. If you plan to purchase the FACs for use with the full version of the game you'll only need to purchase this package one time. The smaller poker-sized team cards will be included in the full game season sets, so it is not necessary to continue purchasing Express seasons just to get the poker-sized team cards. The decks are not localized to any single NFL season. They are created to reflect per play averages across football history.

This is one of my favorite games

Play Action Football Express is one of the best and most accurate "Drive by Drive" games around. The FAC really make the game fly without losing any granularity. This is a very FUN game that will keep you playing game after game.

Oh, and did I mention that Jason Graham helped in creating the FAC deck! You really need to give this game a try.

PAF Express is my favorite full tabletop football simulator

PAF Express takes an already great game, PAF, and automates it with FACs. A true solo experience which speeds up play time by about half the time (40 to 60 minutes) to finish a complete game. It is packed with add-ons for a complete football experience. The fact this ships with one of my all-time favorite NFL seasons, 1983, is just gravy. Another brilliant piece of work by Brian.

Playable action football Express

I play the game not by possessions but by number of plays In each quarter , I deal out 25 cards for the first quarter which is 25 plays and then shuffle at the end of first quarter and then deal out 32 cards for the second quarter this takes in timeouts , at halftime shuffle the pack and deal out 25 cards for the third quarter and then shuffle pack at end of third quarter and deal out 32 cards for the fourth quarter again it takes in times out. I also made a small pack of about 20 cards for 3rd down and long so you can take a chance to get the yardage you need but it got more interceptions and sacks in the small pack. It a great game and a quick to play. thanks Tony
