NFL Football Cards 1990 Score Trading Cards War Card Game NEW Where to start. I was recently having a couple adult beverages on a Sunday afternoon in the garage watching a 49ers game from 1994. My favorite (and the best) football team of all-time. I will argue (and win) that fact until the day I die. Young (THE G.O.A.T), Rice (number 3 G.O.A.T.), Deion, Watters, Jones, Taylor, Bryant Young, Merton. I could keep going on & on but I digress. I was thinking how there really isn't any home football board games. After a few more beverages this idea popped in my head. I have like 80 boxes of 1990 Score football cards. That's a lot of wax packs. So I figured out a way to put some of them to use. I thought a cool football game would be a game similar to the card game WAR. I opened up a few of these packs & started organizing them a bit due to player stature. & these packs of cards each came with a trivia card which I thought could add a little bit to the game. A deck of cards box will only hold 34 trading cards plus 2 trivia cards for a grand total of 36 cards. So that's what you will be receiving, 34 1990 Score trading cards plus two trivia cards for a grand total of 36 cards. So I worked them into piles. Each box contains what I would consider 4 Aces. For example, the box I am looking at right now contains a John Elway, Mike Singletary, Reggie White, & Thurman Thomas (these players wouldn't necessarily be in your box, I'm just giving an example of the higher echelon players that I would consider Aces), 2 rookie cards, 2 trivia cards, & 28 regular cards with the players ranging anywhere from maybe players you never heard of all the way up to maybe a player you would consider an Ace. For the grand total of 36 cards in each box. The box you receive WON'T be the same as the box in the photo. It will obviously be very similar but the players may be different. The photo is just to be used as an example of the types of cards you will receive. My buddy came over that night & I had him play a couple rounds of this with me. We played it exactly like the card game WAR. We kind of made up the rules as we went along but I gotta say, I had a great time. I love cards, talking football, & arguing over football so this was perfect for me. The great part is you can make up your own rules for these. But I'll give a quick description of how our games went. We shuffled up the cards. We each got 17 cards plus 1 trivia card each. We tried not to look at our piles & would each throw one card in the middle. Whoever we thought threw in the better player would win that round & take both cards. We considered all Aces to be equal. If there was an actual WAR, or say you are going to lose your ACE, you can use your 1 trivia card to null & void that round & keep your cards from WAR. Rookies are automatic losers with rare exceptions (it's up to you to argue the point of your rookie). & say two cards come out that are pretty much equal. Either because you never heard of the players or
