BOARD SETUP
Before the game, all cards should be shuffl ed
and placed face-down in the locations marked
on the game board.
• Trivia Cards should be shuffl ed and placed
face down in the location marked on the
board.
• Penalty Cards should be shuffl ed into the
same pile as the Trivia Cards.
• Kicking Cards should be shuffl ed and placed
face down in the location marked on the
board.
• Defense Cards should be placed on the
board, or may be presented to the Team Cap-
tain who will be responsible for selecting the
defensive plays.
• The Special Teams Spinners may be placed
on the board (but not the fi eld), or any other
convenient location.
• Football Game Piece should be placed at mid-
fi eld until you have determined who will kick
off to start the game. This will move up and
down the fi eld to show the ball location.
• First-Down Marker should be placed on
the sideline of the fi eld. This will be moved
up and down the fi eld to indicate the line of
scrimmage and the fi rst-down line. It should

not the fi eld), or any other convenient location.
LENGTH OF THE GAME
There are two ways todetermine the length of
your game: Play Limited and Time Limited.
Play Limited
Length of the game is determined by the total
number of plays in a quarter. Teams may agree
to any length of game, but standard game
lengths are recommended below:
• Short – 10 plays per quarter
• Medium – 15 plays per quarter
• Long – 20 plays per quarter
Time Limited
Length of game is determined by time. Teams
may agree to any length of game, but standard
game lengths are recommended below:
• Short – 5 minutes per quarter
• Medium – 10 minutes per quarter
• Long – 15 minutes per quarter
The Play Clock countdown begins as soon as
the question has been read in its entirety. The
Sand Timer will act as your Play Clock. You
have 30 seconds to answer each question. The
Play Clock is optional, but is highly recom-
mended when playing a Time-Limited Game.
PLAY CLOCK
CLOCKSTHE SPIRIT OF THE RULE
The Play Clock, Game Clock, and Delay of
Game Penalties, are intended to regulate
a competitive game of NFL GameBreaker
Trivia. They should not make it diffi
cult
to enjoy a casual game between friends.
For casual games, you may choose to
eliminate the Play Clock and the Delay of
Game Penalties.
For highly competitive games, you will
want to follow the rules to the letter. Make
sure all players agree on the Clock Rules
before you begin play.
