GridIron Master (2007)

A player reference card for GridIron Master that can be printed on the Front and Back of a 4x6 note card. This card summarizes the rules for Offensive and Defensive Formations. Lays out the beginning play sequences of a down. A condensed and hopefully more concise breakout of the rules for piece interaction between the offensive and defensive pieces depending on field location. With this card I also completely distilled the Rules of Engagement to 7 rules that should cover most of the possible situations that would arise in the game. If there are errors please let me know. Note: Two house rules are noted in purple, plus one rule modification. For an explanation of the rules changes look at this post http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/421130. The rules in this file are not copied directly from the rulebook they are summarizes only and the rulebook was used only as a guideline. ERRORS with previous Versions: (Have been fixed in Version 5) Version 2. Under Defensive formation rules 2 Outside Linebackers are not required in the defense. It should read 1 Defensive Back is required. Version 4. Required pieces for the defense should be noted as 5 to 7 NOT 6 to 8. The Beginning play sequence go to statements should point to step 7 not 8. Both of these versions have been removed from BGG. Please let me know if there are any other errors or corrections necessary.
