Big Sunday Strategy Football Board Game by THE RANDOLPH ROSE GROUP
Age:
8 and Up
Gender: Boys And Girls
Category: Board Games

Mom's Impression
On the outside, Big Sunday appears to be a simple football board game. However, once opened, it's clear that it's more complex than that. The game is a good way to learn the more intricate strategies involved in football.
Mom's Recommendation
This game takes patience, but even someone with only a basic working knowledge about football can play with careful reading of (and referring back to) the directions. I played the game with my husband (who was on a high school football team), and finally understand some of the finer points of football that he'd tried to explain to me before. The game is good for kids in middle school and above and for adults who really want to learn more about football. It's also great for anyone who understands the details of football strategy and already loves the game.

My family really enjoys Big Sunday. The kids stay home to play and my wife finally understands what I have been telling her for years.

I bought Big Sunday for my husband but my girlfriends and I play it to learn.

 


Seal of Approval Winner Holiday '06
Big Sunday

   Randolph Rose Group, Inc.
In this age of high tech, flashy electronic gaming, Big Sunday is a real throwback. While that may have a certain nostalgic appeal for Dad, the task of winning over teenagers is considerable. When given the chance Big Sunday proves that it is worth the investment in time especially if you are already a football fan, no matter what your age. The creators of the game are obviously passionate students of the game and they have poured their considerable knowledge into it. For children who are just starting to play football this game is a great way to learn more about how plays develop, how to challenge opponents and how to outsmart the guys on the other side. This game takes patience and so we recommend it if you already have more than a passing interest in football.

Recommended Age: 7 and Up    Price: $39.95
