Excalibur electronic NF-05 Games User Manual


 
The rules of the game are based on NFL
football rules. The object of the game is to
move the ball down the fi eld to score points.
The team with the most points at the end of a
4-quarter game (plus sudden-death overtime
if necessary) is the winner.
On off ense, teams must answer trivia ques-
tions to move the ball down the fi eld. Just like
in real football, teams have four (4) downs
in which to gain 10 yards. If successful, the
off ensive team is awarded a new set of downs,
and may continue driving down the fi eld. If
unsuccessful, the off ense must turn the ball
over to the other team.
On defense, teams must attempt to slow or
stop the progress of the off ense by playing the
correct Defense Card. Defense cards impact
the result of the off ense’s play. If the defense
chooses well, the off ense will gain fewer yards.
If the defense chooses poorly, the off ense will
benefi t by receiving extra yardage.
Kickoff s, punts, fi eld goals, fumbles, inter-
ceptions, safeties, extra points, and 2-point
conversions are all a part of the game. You’ll
have to master every facet of the game if you
want to come out on top!
NUMBER OF PLAYERS
Just like in real football, NFL GameBreaker
Trivia is played with two teams, Home and
Away. NFL GameBreaker Trivia is recommend-
ed for 2 to 8 players, but you can play with as
many people as you like.
2-Player Games
Playing with two players is easy—you are the
team! In a one-on-one game, players should
simply choose who will represent Home and
Away.
Multiple-Player Games
Choosing Teams
Teams may have any number of players on
them. For most games it is recommended that
each team have the same number of players.
However, depending on the number of players
who are participating and their skill levels, you
may decide to assign an uneven amount of
players to the teams.
Note: How each team is selected is up to
you, but the easiest method is to choose two
players who will pick teams. Those two players
should take turns drafting teammates until all
players have been chosen.
Team Captains
For larger games (more than 2 players), each
team should select a Team Captain. The
Team Captain is responsible for reading the
questions while on Defense, and for giving his
team’s fi nal answer when answering questions
on Off ense. Team Captains may be changed at
any time during the game, and you may assign
more than one Team Captain. Be sure that the
team’s fi nal answer is announced by one of the
Team Captains in order to avoid confusion.

ball should be
called a genius. A
genius is a guy like
Norman Einstein.”
