    Description

    Chess-like game but played with 11 pieces instead of 16.

    King is replaced by Quarterback.
    Queen is replaced by Fullback.
    Rook is replaced by Halfback.
    Knight is replaced by Center.
    Bishop is replaced by End.
    Pawn is replaced by Lineman.

    Capturing a piece is "blocking a man out of play".
    Castling is "quarterback protection".
    Check is "Quarterback under attack".
    Checkmate is "Downing the quarterback".

    Created in 1967 by Diversified Creations, based in Upland, California, Benjamin Neiden (president of company).

    After the first release in 1967, a second release was made in 1968, that included a football strategy booklet written by University of Southern California (USC) coach John McKay.

    The cardboard box containing the two 11-player set and the chess board is oversize and could have been much thinner. Probably it is so big because the board does not fold.
