While the thread title opens me up to all kinds of abuse it was a great game.
For you 'youngsters' who have your fancy "Exit-Boxes" and your high flatun' Madden games, this was a dice based sports board game that relied on 'statistics' (or so they would have you believe) and allowed you to play against an opponent by using cards of players.
Baseball was the best but football was a close second. I recall on more than one occasion, the lowley Saints would go against a team like the Bradshaw led Steelers and have the Saints pull out a close game that may or may not have had something to do with me rolling the dice a few times so that FINALLY Rich Szaro would kick that ellusive 49 yard FG to win it all.
In all honesty, it was the precursor to the fantasy games that are so popular today.
(David Robbins' 'Tommy Meyers' thread got me to remaniscing. If anyone is interested in my memories of the bicentenial, 'Chico and the Man' or the Evil Knevial 'Sky Cycle', email me at "WhentheheckdidIgetOld.com")
