It is awesome to watch a game of football with family and friends. So I created a game with my dad to make it even better.
Grab some snacks, a drink and get ready to … Draft’Em.
How to Play Draft’Em
Draft an appropriate number of tokens based on the number of players. You score points as the play happens in real-time watching the game. Each token has two sides to it, so when you draft a token make sure to choose if you are picking the home or away team.
Play for fun or bet each other if you want. Once there is a game winner, put the tokens back and Draft’Em again. You can play multiple times during each football game. These rules are our recommendations from playing it but feel free to edit them for your own game.
Recommended Number of Players: 2-4 (use a snake draft).
2 Players
Draft 10 tokens each. Play to 8 points.
3 Players
Draft 6 tokens each. Play to 7 points (there will be two extra tokens not used in a three player game)
4 Players
Draft 5 tokens each. Play to 5 points.
Move the points
You can move the points it takes to win higher or lower depending on how long you want each game to take.
Game Tokens (20)
- Run, Pass and Penalty tokens – each worth 1 point (game includes 2 of these tokens)
- Field Goal, Touchdown and Sack tokens – each worth 2 points (game includes 2 of these tokens)
- Fumble, Interception and 2-pt Conversion tokens – each worth 3 points (game includes 2 of these tokens)
- Safety token – worth 4 points (game includes 2 of this token)
In each game, you can only get points on the token once. For example if your team scores a touchdown, you get 2 points and then you take the token out of the game.
When drafting fumble and interception tokens, make sure to tell your opponents if you picking the Home or Away team to force the turnover or be the victim of it (and if a fumble counts if it is not a turnover). You decide!
- Game Winner – (game includes 1 of this token)
- 100 yard runner – for first one to achieve this (game includes 1 of this token)
- 100 yard receiver – for first one to achieve this (game includes 1 of this token)
- 300 yard passer – for first one to achieve this (game includes 1 of this token)
Bonus Tokens (4)
These four tokens are not part of the Draft’Em game. They are bonus tokens to use as side bets. Each of these tokens has a home and away side too.
Some variations of the game from friends who have played so far:
- Just play to the end of each quarter and highest point total wins and then redraft.
- Safety is an automatic game winner so it makes the Safety more important
- If you pick “Field Goal” and the “Home” side for example, anyone else who drafts “Field Goal” later has to play the “Away” side. If you are able to draft both “Field Goals”, you can choose Home or Away for either.
