About this game

SNAP is a fast-playing, pocket-sized football card game for 2 players set in the FIRST DOWN universe. Players take turns running drives through a mix of hidden card selection, dice resolution, weather effects, and positional bonuses. At the start of each drive, a weather card modifies the conditions. The offense then chooses a featured position, QB, RB, or WR, which gains a bonus for the drive but may also signal the offensive plan to the defense. On each play, offense and defense secretly choose cards, reveal simultaneously, roll the dice, and resolve the result using the card values, weather modifier, and position bonus. The first player to score 3 touchdowns wins. SNAP includes Offense Cards, Defense Cards, Weather Cards, Trash Talk Cards, a Quick Reference Card, 2 dice, and a DRIVE BLOCK score pad. It can be played as a standalone card game, a quick game-night opener, a tailgate game, or a warm-up to FIRST DOWN. —description from the publisher
