This is a great review of an incredible game. One thing I’ll say about price is that you can also buy the files as PnP games and make the game yourself. I did that, I’ve got every expansion and team and the price overall was reasonable. The quality of components in my case isn’t great, because that isn’t too relevant to me and I’m lousy at that stuff anyway. I’d also say that for football fans old enough to love teams like the the ’78 Steelers, the ’85 Bears, all of the team special abilities are where the magic lies. It would be hard to review those in a review of this size, but there is a strategy guide available, I believe downloadable for free, that goes into great detail about each available team. There is a small Facebook group for dedicated players and fans of the game, you’ll see a lot stuff there if you join.

Finally, if you liked Breakaway Football I cannot over-emphasize how much I recommend you try their Red Zone expansion. In my mind, it is the most well designed game I’ve every played.

In reply to John K Williamson.

I have not tried any of the Strat-o-matic games. I know fellow BGQ reviewer Alex reviewed Strat-o-matic baseball (https://www.boardgamequest.com/strat-o-matic-baseball-review/) but that seemed like a bit too much into the stats weeds for me.

Thanks for a very interesting review. Have you ever tried or reviewed Strat-O-Matic Football board or computer games?
