Cold Snap Express

A new way to enjoy your favorite Canadian pro football board game: play a complete pro game in less than 30 minutes! The realism, excitement and drama of the full-fledged COLD SNAP board game, distilled into a half-hour card-and-dice experience! Using COLD SNAP's established ratings, terminology and play mechanics, the express version breaks the game's play down into sequences or "chunks" of plays, rather than individual play calls. The offense chooses pass or run as the primary play-call mode, and the defense calls one of the four classic COLD SNAP defense settings (deep, up, safe or blitz) as its primary defense mode. The dice are rolled and the result is generated, same as with the original game. The difference is, the result will represent what happened over a sequence of plays, not just one play. Total game-play time is condensed by about two thirds so a full game takes around 30 minutes. —description from the publisher
