New "FAC Edition" (left) and the "Original" charts and dice version
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, unique in the drive-by-drive genre.
For fans of the pro game, there are now two versions to choose from: the original PDF version with the game book and charts, and the FAC (or Fast Action Card) Edition. See this link for more information about the FAC Edition. The original version is $5 and can be purchased from https://3d6-gaming.store/, and the FAC version is available from The Game Crafter, in both a boxed version and a less-expensive "FACs Only" version.
The original version of Fast Drive Football and team collections are available for purchase as PDF files 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. 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.
