Description

Pro Football, later renamed Thinking Man's Football was issued by 3M Sports Games. Each turn, the offensive player selects a play for their team and the defense selects a formation and an area to defend (right, center, or left). Their selections are revealed simultaneously and a chart and die roll determines the yardage lost or gained from that play. Standard American football rules for downs and scoring apply.
