Hi! I'm the FootMeal!

Matthew Inman made me in 2017 to tell you about saggy punt sacks and crimes of scrimmage. Then he abandoned me. RUDE.

But I'm back (maybe) with a card game that amplifies everything great about watching football with friends and family.

This is my Hail Mary Pass (Get it? Get it? That’s a football reference!)

The FootMeal's ScoreCards

The Game You Play While Watching The Game.

ScoreCards is a group party card game the whole gang plays while watching football on TV.

ScoreCards features possible plays, events, announcer sound bites, and camera shots commonly or uncommonly found while watching football on TV.

Each card has a point value so with the right combination of strategy, luck, and attentiveness, you just might score enough points to win (even if your favorite team doesn’t.)

There’s also action cards to add a level of...screw you.

It’s a simple game to learn, an easy game to play, but the luck of the draw, randomness of the football game, and the various decisions that must be made along the way, guarantees the game will never be the same twice.

Why???

Watching Football Is Already Social. Let's Make It More Fun.

There's an undeniable social aspect to watching football. Whether it's at a sports bar or in a family rec room, watching football with the gang is a unique part of the American experience.

ScoreCards amps up these social aspects and the game-time excitement of watching football, without getting in the way of watching the game itself.

This fits Exploding Kittens' DNA:

  • Social, in-person gameplay
  • Chaos and sabotage
  • Easy to learn, impossible to predict
  • Makes people laugh
  • Gets people off screens...well...little screens while watching a big screen...so there’s still a screen. I guess???
  • Like football itself, ScoreCards offers story equity. the potential our card game has for players to keep telling stories about it even after they’ve finished playing.

I'm The Football Expert You Need

I understand football at the scientific level
11 players on field = 2,817 pounds of fast-moving ManMeat. I did the math. Nobody else did the math.

Matt created me in 2017 and I was immediately popular
Gobs of Twitter followers learned about saggy punt sacks and crimes of scrimmage. Then poof, I disappeared. Mystery!

ScoreCards needs a football expert
That's me. I'm the expert. I know about tuning fork kicks and backwards touchdowns.

I am literally a football
This gives me insider knowledge that human football analysts cannot have. Physical advantage.

No other football character is doing this
I Googled it. There's no competition. The market is wide open for a football mascot card game expert.

Print 'N Play ScoreCards. If you like it we can talk about bringing me back from the dead and turning ScoreCards into The FootMeal's ScoreCards! (Yay!)

Hi! I'm Jay

I created ScoreCards to teach my kids about football. I'm not looking at creating a game company. I'm a (sleepwalking) creative director in beautiful Arlington, Nebraska (a place that couldn't be farther from New York City and Los Angeles at the same time.) I want to see this game be a part of pop culture.
