It had offensive play cards and defensive play cards. I would call the offensive play myself. Since there was no one on the other side I would shuffle the defensive cards and blind draw one.
During the winter I probably played that game 15 hours a week in 7th-8th grade.
Holy crap! You're bringing back memories. I had a similar game in the early 70s called Foto-Electric Football by Cadaco. One of my favorite games as a kid.
The game consisted of a game box with a light bulb inside it, offensive cards, defensive cards, and spinner card. You would select an offensive card and a defensive card and place the offensive card facing down on the game box and a defensive card on top of it. Then you would slowly pull out a cardboard shield from the box that would allow the light from the bulb to shine through and reveal the play as it unfolded. I included a couple of photos to show the components and the play being revealed.
Thanks for bringing to mind a great memory! I may have to go find one to buy on ebay, lol.
