Pro Quarterback (1965)

Pro Quarterback is the first adult game for men and boys who take football seriously and have outgrown toys. It is a scientifically designed game system which reproduces the dynamics of modern professional football. The Flanker-T offense versus the 4-3-4 defense with statistical accuracy and realism. Physical factors balance out. Each team is exactly equal in power, speed and proficiency. Children’s Hour 2-4 There are twelve Offense Cards and nine Defense Cards. Each players chooses a card secretly. The player on offense then declares whether the play action will take place on the weak side or strong side. The player on offense rolls three six-sided dice and the player on defense rolls two six-sided dice. The die rolls are modified by the play choices and the resulting yardage is the modified offensive roll minus the modified defensive roll. Results of the plays are recorded using a grease pencil on the laminated gameboard. To get instructions concerning penalties and organizing a league, one would have had to contact the now defunct publisher.
