Gameplay Demo
Everything you'll need to re-create exciting, accurate, realistic professional football action is contained inside the SECOND SEASON Pro Football board game box. The heart of the game is the SECOND SEASON Pro Football board game book, a spiral-bound collection of charts which, when activated by a pair of ordinary, six-sided dice, produces results that are amazingly similar to real professional football!
The game book is used in conjunction with yearbooks containing complete team-by-team ratings of players from a variety of pro seasons past and present. Each team is represented on its own "team card." On the team card, each player--from all-star to third-string scrub-- is individually rated to reflect his own unique set of playing abilities, with all the necessary data arranged in a logical, easy-to-read manner. Together, these pro football board game materials allow you to enjoy real pro football action, using individual players and teams, anytime, anywhere!
SECOND SEASON Pro Football board game is just like the real pro game! Quarterbacks, running backs, pass receivers, special teams players, linemen and defenders--in fact, EVERY player, from the All-Pros to the third-string rookie free agents--are each individually rated for their ability to contribute to their team's offense or defense. However, not only do the PLAYERS perform realistically, but the GAME ITSELF is meticulously designed to be an exact re-creation of contemporary professional football. Literally YEARS of extensive, game-by-game and play-by-play research of actual pro action were invested to ensure that gains and losses, penalties, fumbles, out of bounds plays, injuries and everything else that could happen in a real pro game has the same likelihood of occurring in SECOND SEASON Pro Football.
Realistic player performances are only part of SECOND SEASON's amazing re-creation of pro football. This football board game delivers true-to-life FOOTBALL, not just football statistics. Included in the text of the game book is the potential for virtually any kind of play outcome that could happen in a real pro game. Play outcomes can even border on the bizarre! For example, play can be temporarily halted while police remove an unruly fan from the playing field, or a quarterback can forget what play was called and have to waste a time out. SECOND SEASON Pro Football board game also has a built-in home field advantage, which comes into play at various random times during a game. There's a provision for use of instant replay for video review of close plays, which you can choose to incorporate if you want to. And there's much more! Nothing has been left out in making SECOND SEASON Pro Football the most comprehensive and detailed simulation of pro football ever created!
SECOND SEASON Pro Football board game was especially designed to be played "solitaire"-- that is, YOU, yourself, handling both teams. Yes, it can also be played "head-to-head," with two players coaching against each other. But if you're a football fan who doesn't have other people who share your table-game hobby interest, or if you're a table-gamer who just prefers solitude, THIS is a game that was especially created for YOU! SECOND SEASON Pro Football is a thoroughly engaging and endlessly entertaining solitaire football game! When you're playing SECOND SEASON, it feels like you're watching football on TV, NOT like you're playing a football board GAME!

Testimonials
N. C. Hampton, UK: "The clever tables and the excellent design of the Play Book steer the gameplay clearly and are very slick to use which results in a flowing game which never once stutters or loses its pace or excitement. Full marks." (read the entire Board Game Geek review!)
M. W. Willingboro, NJ: "SECOND SEASON is OUTSTANDING in every way! Best football sim I've ever seen. Hands DOWN."
R. G. Pittsburgh, PA: "SECOND SEASON is a winner with me! Yours is among the best football simulation games I've ever played because it allows for so many variations on each play. Depending on the defense called, the location of the ball on the field, the quarter, the same dice roll for any given play will provide a different result. That unpredictability is what makes me coming back for more and what makes playing the game so enjoyable."
J. R. Keyser, WV: "You have created a masterpiece! This is the best board game I have ever played. Video games can not even touch this game!"
E. G. Chicago, IL: "It's a great game, and I really enjoy the way different players whose cards seem to just take up space in other games (i.e. offensive and defensive linemen) really get into the action and affect play!"
D. M. Rome, GA: "I play solitaire and I never thought I would ever find a game that played so well solitaire. This game plays better than ANY football game I have ever played and I have been playing 30 years!"
D. R. Westminster, CO: "This game is the most excellent game I have ever seen! How many football table games put the load of running two yards for the first down on the back of the offensive tackle to get the job done? The other thing is that the game has almost no set-up time. Thanks for the entertainment!"
W. D. Arlington, TX: "SECOND SEASON is one of the best table top games I have ever played and ranks in the HoF with APBA and S-O-M. Your games are FUN!"
