Title: Football game

Abstract: A football game apparatus for simulating football. The game has a playing board surface with grid lines marked to define a playing field. Sliding markers indicate ball placement and the yardage required for first down. The game is played with dice to determine by chance the ball movement. A pair of cups are rotatably carried on the board surface. Each cup has an indicator to indicate various areas marked on the board surface. These areas indicate the next down and the play and must be selected by the players. The cups also receive the thrown dice, penalties being assessed if the dice bounce out, or if a player neglects to properly select his next play by rotating the cup.
