Breakaway Football: Weather Expansion (2018)

Giới thiệu

Football is not only a game of X’s and O’s strategy, but also a game of mud and rain, of wind and frigid cold, of players adapting to the environment and mastering the elements to achieve victory.

Extreme cold has shaped the mythology of Pro Football, from the “Ice Bowl” in Green Bay to the “Freezer Bowl” in Cincinnati and “Red Right 88” in Cleveland. Snow, sleet, ice, and extreme cold change the conditions of the game and, as such, force coaches to adjust their strategies.

Rain imbues football with an epic scope. Weather is the great equalizer, where elite athletes are hobbled by wet hands, soft earth, and standing water. Add in wind and you’ve got "football weather."

With this new Breakaway Football: Weather Expansion, you can now experience these same epic coaching conditions at your own table.

The expansion set includes three custom play mats themed for Rain, Snow, and Wind. To achieve the effect of playing in weather, the expansion features two new Game Day decks - one themed for "Rain Day" and another cold weather "Snow Day" -as well as forecast cards with specific modifiers for each weather condition.

Wind is handled through new cards on the board that apply modifiers, making the kicking game more challenging. Strong enough wind can even affect the passing game.

The rule book for the Weather Expansion not only outlines these new mechanisms but also includes two templates for the new weather decks, which allows one card pull to determine the specific game conditions (forecast, wind speed/direction, temperature).

Experience epic drama in the elements with the Breakaway Football: Weather Expansion!
