“Our can’t-miss interview with Breakaway Football Board Game creator Arthur Franz IV is live. One of the most unique games in the hobby, Breakaway starts from the point of normalizing some of the greatest teams in #NFLhistory from 1958 to the present, presenting unique, limited-use game-play mechanisms that reflect the unique character of those teams. Think the “Bum Rap” mechanism of the ’79-’80 Oilers and the Mike Renfro call. Think the ’78 Cowboys (called the Horsemen in Breakaway) and their then-uncommon use of the shotgun — which was effective only in very specific usage, as Arthur found through extensive film review.
“Don’t forget that Arthur and his posse will be at the Gridiron Games 2024 at the Pro Football Hall of Fame both days, with all 42 of their “GTOP” franchises and their Team Creator module that lets you build your own Breakaway teams — even the beloved ’76 Bucs!”
