I'm a huge American football fan from Europe. For years I kept looking for a board game that really captures the psychology, pressure, and reaction-based rhythm of football. I never found one that felt right — so I built it myself. That's how Don Bean Games started.
FIRST DOWN is the full strategic experience — 4 quarters, deep tactics, a real football game on your table.
FIRST DOWN SNAP is the quick version — same DNA, 22 cards, played in minutes. Get it free as an Early Backer.
Lock in 5% off MSRP, get the exclusive Black & Gold Special Die, and three premium balls instead of one. Never reprinted, never sold separately.
Closes when Kickstarter goes live in September.
Get our free 6-page guide. The field, the positions, the scoring, and why every snap is a chess match. Plus early access to our Kickstarter launch.
