Play Action Football is a full, play-by-play tabletop football board game using cards and dice. It's perfect for solo, head-to-head, or league play. With Play Action Football we've cut off as many corners of a long-play football game as we could while still keeping the parts gamers enjoy: play calling, individual player stats, great flow, and more.
Discover a new way to play Play Action Football. The Express game is a diceless, fast action card (FAC) version of the game that also includes the drive by drive mod and a new fictional team creation and career module. The Express version is fully compatible with all seasons of Play Action Football.
We've tried to create a football board game that provides detail but doesn't get caught up in the weeds. Gamers can finish a game in under 2 hours without feeling rushed.
The individual player finder allows gamers to keep individual stats in key categories: rushing and receiving, sacks, interceptions, and even assigning penalties.
Play Action Football is built for both solo and head-to-head play. Use the formation cards included with the game or utilize the auto play calling when you're rolling solo.
Jason from the JasonFlashFootball YouTube channel provided his first impressions and thoughts on the 1991 season. He played an entire week of games in the first 12 hours getting the game in his hands!
The team cards are at the heart of the game. They feature the team adjustments made on each play, place kicking, and the player finder for keeping individual stats.
A high variability is built into the card results which means no two games will be the same. The drama goes sky high, too, when it's 3rd and 4 yards to go and you have to roll that d10. Will you get the yards needed for the first down or come up just short?
Call your own offense, let the dice decide, or mix and match based on the situation. The situational auto play calling chart makes it easy to incorporate realistic play calling for offense and defense into your replays.
Individual player usage is based on actual statistics and usage from that season. Play results are also crafted for each team based on several factors, like: yards per catch, completion percentage, sacks given up, and more.
A unique momentum system is built into the game that allows teams to play beyond their carded abilities. Bad teams can stay in the game and good teams can steam roll the opposition--just like real life.
No generic penalties here. Penalties are contextualized to either the pass or run. The penalties system is straightforward and easy to use while still providing you realism.

I like playing American football games but some are to long to play. Play Action Football is just right. The more you play it the game becomes quicker and you get all the stats. Very good game. Glad I purchased it.
A great game you can almost start playing as soon as the ink dries! Delivers an exciting way to play football with your favorite players. Highly recommended!
I'm really enjoying the game. No complaints. Play-by-play football games should be fast and fun. No more than an hour to play. This game has it all.
Easy to pick up and play. I have 14 football games in my collection and this is in my Top 3.
Really love the game flow and the small footprint. Only have played a few games but it is definitely a permanent part of my football gaming.
Runs smoothly and not too much stat crunching.
