In this episode of the podcast, we asked a friend of ours to be our first third chair! Together, we talk about the stereotypes and pre-conceived notions that surround tabletop gaming and review the American-football game 1st & Goal. Enjoy!
1st & Goal is a game for two to four players (but really, it's meant for two).
Here is the game, setup and ready to play. The football and yard marker pieces are magnetized and stay on the board pretty firmly.
Running a play involves each player playing one card face-down. Compare the two cards and roll the dice shown. In the example above, the player who played Short Pass would roll one red die, the black Defense die, and the Play die against the Nickel defense.
And here are the dice! You will curse them. You will cheer them. Your fate lies in their plastic faces.
We didn't mention it in the episode, but this is how you punt/field goal. Each player has one of these cards at all times. When a kick happens, both players secretly choose either the Kick or Fake side and then compare the results.
An expansion for 1st & Goal. Each expansion adds four fictional teams with their own unique dice. This adds variety to the game as now some teams are better passers or defenders, etc.
However, unlike the current edition of the base game, expansion dice require stickers. Lots of stickers...
