The game was designed by CSE Games, published by SportFX International and was named one of the Top 10 Best Card Games of 2006 by About.com.

[edit] Other versions

Card Football is also the name of a game by collector and inventor Sid Sackson, played using a normal deck of playing cards. A player who "catches" a pass turns cards from a pile; each number card moves the ball that distance.^[3]

Another form of card football, also employing a standard playing-card deck, was developed in 2006 by Scott Crawford, called "Card Bowl."^{[citation needed]}
