I’ve used the APBA Football Master game to replay several seasons. The Master game provides the “ebb and flow” of an actual contest and allows the “coach” the opportunity to deploy multiple personnel packages to mirror today’s game or the single platoon system of yesteryear. On numerous occasions, I’ve matched team records and have come extremely close to replicating team and individual statistics.
My original purpose for creating this blog was solely to present my current and previous replays, offer “method of play” alternatives, share innovations, provide tools for evaluating individual cards, post links and informational tips to assist with preparing for and conducting season replays.
Of course season replays will always remain the focal point, however, it’s my goal and ambition to cover all aspects of APBA Football ranging from historical, solo tournaments, league play and the finer points of Face-to-Face play. To accomplish this, I’ve enlisted the help of the finest minds in all APBA Football. My team of authors have been former card makers for the game company, innovators, league commissioner, writers for the APBA Journal, and APBA Hall of Famers.
Site authors are Mr. Mark Zarb, Mr. Ray Dunlap, Mr. Dave Urban, Mr. Greg Wells, Mr. Phil Molloy, Mr. Dan Flynn and Mr. Scott Griffin.
I’ve created a quick reference site directory to aid visitors searching for the 20 most popular topics not found in the upper site menu (Home, Method of Play, YPC Ratings, etc).

Love your new APBA card as a 5 point guard. You should have made yourself the only 6 pointer ever.
Hello,
I happened to stumble upon this site by accident while I was doing a search to see if I could find anyone who might possibly be selling the 2002 NFL Season card set for the APBA Football board game. I just wanted to say that I think that this is really cool. I am a huge fan of APBA football and I have been playing since I was a kid. I love the realism to it and there’s not many other football board games that come close to simulating a real game. My Dad was the one who got me into the game and I used to play with him. He owns several sets (84′, 85′, 93′, 96′, 2000) and I always enjoyed our games and they were always very competitive. When I got older, he passed his APBA football board game down to me and I purchased the updated playsheets. Recently, I’ve started replaying the 2011 NFL season. That year was one of my favorites, so I decided that one would be the first one that I would attempt to replay. As I mentioned, I really enjoy playing the game and I love keeping track of player stats for both offense and defense. I even came up with my own method for keeping tally of tackles by rolling the dice and using the injury chart to determine which player made the tackle on the play. I’ll have to compare my results to yours when I’m finished. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I thought this was really cool and keep up the good work!
