Board Football
DescriptionGame found in The New Book of Games, circa 1950. For this game a large board must be drawn like the one in the image. The football is a counter, which at the beginning of the game is placed on square 14 for the kick-off. The two players, or sides — “Rovers” and “United” — throw the dice alternately. Rovers add the value of their throw to the number of the square on which the ball lies, and move it on to the square indicated; thus, if the ball is on 17 and they throw a 4, the ball is moved to 21. United subtract the value of their throw from the number where the ball previously was: thus if it is on 8 and they throw 3, the ball goes to 5. A goal is scored when the ball enters square 1 or square 27. After a goal has been scored, the game is restarted, and the side which has lost the goal kicks off. If a throw leads to a number over 27 or less than 1, it is a goal lick, and the other side places the ball on the square in front of goal, and throws. If 1 is thrown while the ball is in a touch-line square, the ball is out of play and not moved, the other side taking a throw immediately. A time limit, say five or ten minutes, must be fixed for the game before starting. When elapsed, the side with the most goals, wins. Game DiscussionsAdd CommentYou need to be logged in to comment.
