A simulated American football game, with a particular gaming surface, and methods of play are described. The gaming surface may include an elongate I shaped field that may include a simulated field region bounded by two opposing simulated play regions in a same plane. The simulated field region may simulate a 100 yard American football field and may include LED lighting to track a line of scrimmage and to track a first down yard marker target. The two opposing simulated play regions may provide for a diversity and plurality of various play outcomes that may dictate certain gameplay results when a slider comes to rest mostly over a given target or region. The slider may be slid from one opposing simulated play region, across the simulated field region to the other opposing simulated play region. In some embodiments, defensive blocking obstacles may be used to intentionally increase gameplay difficulty.

A football-style chess game and method for opposed players includes an eight-by-eight checkerboard-style game board having an End Zone at each player end of the board, two sets of game pieces, each set including conventional chess pieces, e.g. a Quarterback (QB), a Fullback (FB), a Running Back (RB), a Wide Receiver/Defensive Back (WR/DB), a Linebacker (LB), and eight Front Line (FL) pieces. A method is also disclosed wherein the chess game is played for a fixed duration of time, and points (dollar values) are awarded to the players. The player having the highest cumulative point total at the end of the game is then declared the winner. A method is also disclosed for adapting the chess game for play electronically, such as through a global network of computers.

A finger flicking football game board comprises a planar table surface having a plurality of apertures, each aperture designed to hold a beer pong-sized cup, and a pair of goal posts at a rear end of the planar table surface through which a miniaturized football must be flicked for scoring as an extra point AFTER the miniaturized football has been flicked from a first planar table surface into one of the cups in the apertures of an opposing player's planar table surface. A method of playing this finger flicking football game, preferably to 42 points or greater, is also disclosed.

The systems and methods discussed herein further provide for electronic simulation of sports-based card and board games with greater realism than conventional simulations of card and board games, with an intuitive user interface less complicated than user interfaces provided with electronic simulations of sports games. The simulation may be local to a computing device, or may utilize multiple computing devices in communication. Resources associated with a user of one computing device may be not associated with the user of another computing device, representing ownership of game tokens or entities. Resources associated with the user and resources not associated with the user may be stored separately in local databases, reducing bandwidth required for transfer of unassociated resources during multi-user simulations.

A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium to implement a wagering method using at least one electronic random number generator which simulates dice. The method can simulate a game of football which is based purely on player decisions and random outcomes of the random number generator. Different sequences of the method can be initiated based on outcomes of the random number generator.

A game system relating to multi-player card games, the game system including: a game-board module having a plurality of peripheral edges, the plurality of peripheral edges containing at least one abuttable edge configured to be placeable in abutment with at least one other abuttable edge of the game system. In addition, the game-board module includes a first surface having a plurality of full spaces depicted thereon, each one identifying a positional piece location, the plurality of full spaces arranged in rows, and a plurality of half spaces, each one identifying one half of a positional piece location, the plurality of half spaces contiguous with the at least one abuttable edge and configured to form full spaces when the abuttable edge is abutted with at least one other abuttable edge of the game system.

In some embodiments, defensive blocking obstacles may be used to intentionally increase gameplay difficulty.

A football board game, and a method of playing such a football board game, whereby the football board game includes a gameboard having a simulated football field on which a position marker is movable. Further, the football board game includes an offense-defense play matrix comprising: (i) an offense-defense play matrix row of first cells, each of which contains an offensive play indicium; (ii) an offense-defense play matrix column of second cells, each of which contains a defensive play indicium; and (iii) a plurality of third cells, wherein each third cell is located at an intersection dictated by selection of one of the first cells and one of the second cells, and wherein each third cell contains an offense-defense play outcome indicium which provides an offense-defense play outcome, whereby the offense-defense play outcome dictates movement of the position marker on the simulated football field.

A table includes a table surface, a border, and an underside. A planar game board is disposed within the table, wherein the planar surface includes a plurality of scoring targets and a plurality of zones marked thereon. A simulated American football field piece is secured to the planar game board, so that playing pieces may pass underneath, across, over, or above the planar surface and simulated American football field piece. Play-indicating mechanisms are attached to the table. The play-indicating mechanisms are each configured to indicate one of a plurality of play options.

A casino table game having a football motif is played on a standard table that resembles a blackjack table having six or seven betting positions around the same. Each betting position includes a symbol for a home team and a visiting team so that each player can place a bet on either. Additional side or bonus bets can also be made. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards with jokers. The table layout resembles a football field and includes spots for the dealer to place four cards for the home team and four cards for the visiting team. In the simplest form of the game, the team with the most points after adding up the four cards wins.
