Fast Drive Football (FDF) is a one-player, card & dice tabletop game that simulates American Pro & College Football. It's a "drive-by-drive" game, meaning that instead of simulating each individual play, you are simulating one possession at a time. Games take about 15-20 minutes to play once you learn the rules.
"On any given Sunday..." FDF is unique in that most results are driven by team qualities - not precise numerical statistics. This approach allows for the development of a more colorful narrative throughout the game. The game book was designed to ensure that teams perform as they did in real life, but also to allow for the occasional surprise that keeps you coming back to roll just one more game...
The FDF Community is truly one of the best in the hobby. Andy Lewis created a web-based dice-roller app, and Curt Roberts created an electronic scoreboard! For gamers that want to bring individual player results into the game to track who was involved on scoring plays, Mark Miller has you covered with his Scoring Detail Charts. These charts really round out the FDF experience and I am humbled that Mark put the effort in to create charts for every pro season that I have produced. And for you college football fans, Dan Pruszewski created the same scoring detail charts for most of the available college teams! You can find all of this content on the Community Content page.
Fast Drive Football and team collections are available for purchase at the 3d6 Gaming Store. https://3d6-gaming.store/ The Pro and College Game Books are $5 each. Season prices differ based on team-card format, and number of teams included.
The game and seasons are only available as PDF download. Instructions and scoresheets can be downloaded for free here on the Pro Game and College Game download pages. The only thing you will need to supply are the dice!
For the pro version, all NFL (and AFL!) seasons from 1950-today are available, as well as some well-known spring leagues.
For the college version, top teams from recent seasons are available as well as championship teams from 1976 to today. You'll also be able to create your own teams with the included team creation instructions. With FDF you can even rate teams at any point of the season and play along with your favorite team in real time!

Two different (free) expansions give you all the tools you need to run your own custom professional football league using either fictional or real teams. Think of these expansions as a pro football sandbox limited only by your imagination. They work great “out of the box” but are also wide-open for personalization, tinkering, and your own customized rules, qualities, tables, and charts.
