Card football refers to one of several card games that simulate American football and/or Soccer.
Card Football Premiere Edition is a poker-like strategy game developed in 2004 by brothers Paolo and Fabio Del Rio, former editors of Canadian Sports Collector,[1]. It employs what its developers call the D54 Game System, a patented modification of the 54-card deck. The game was designed by CSE Games, published by SportFX International and was named one of the Top 10 Best Card Games of 2006 by About.com.
An updated version of Card Football is slated to release in early 2009. Titled NCAA Football Hand-Off[2], the new licensed version of the game includes 20 top U.S. college teams.
[edit] Other versions
Card Football is also the name of a game by collector and inventor Sid Sackson, played using a normal deck of playing cards. A player who "catches" a pass turns cards from a pile; each number card moves the ball that distance.[3]
Another form of card football called "Card Bowl," also employing a standard playing-card deck, was developed in 2006 by Scott Crawford.[citation needed]
Card football in Britain is the name given to a soccer simulation game.[citation needed]
