Real decisions. Real tension
One snap can change everything
THE PROBLEM: Why I created First Down
There are many american football games.
But only few feel like real american football.
Too much calculation.
Too little game-day tension.
FIRST DOWN WAS BUILT TO CHANGE THAT
The Solution
🏈 Offense vs. Defense
Real decisions on both sides of the ball.
🎯 Snipping instead of just rolling the dice
Field goals, Hail Marys and decisive moments can be decided by
the flick of a finger.
🎲 Cards, dice, and miniatures
Tactical depth without complex rules.
🔁 Every game is different
No two matches ever feel the same.

Why I developed it
I created FIRST DOWN because I was looking
for a football board game that truly felt right.
I couldn’t find it.
So I started building it myself.
