Second Season Express

A new way to play your favorite pro football board game: play a complete pro football game in less than 30 minutes, with SECOND SEASON Express! The realism, excitement and drama of the full-fledged Second Season board game, distilled into a half-hour card-and-dice experience!

SECOND SEASON Express presents a game of football in "minute-sized" chunks of action, similar to our hockey and soccer games. The field is broken down into zones rather than specific yard lines. You choose a basic scheme for both the offense and defense, which represents a sequence of two to four downs. The offense chooses PASS/RUN, defense chooses from among the four base SS defenses, PASS-SAFE-RUN-BLITZ. Roll the dice, check the team cards, register the result. That's it!

It's important to note that SECOND SEASON Express is NOT a score generator or drive simulator. It's based on the original game, and uses the SECOND SEASON framework for play results. Play sequences succeed or fail largely on the abilities of the players, aided by smart coaching calls. You'll experience the same highs and lows of real football, with games decided by players making big plays--or NOT making them!
