About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to hit the field and experience the thrill of American football with Pickle Football League! This dice game puts you in charge of a team, where every play is an intense battle of offense versus defense. The dynamic is simple yet addictive: each team grabs two dice and rolls them simultaneously, hoping for the most powerful roll. Whoever gets the best result decides the next action on the field.

If you're on offense, the options are strategic: you can try to advance the ball for a glorious touchdown, risk a field goal to secure some points, or even punt to turn the situation in your favor. The defense isn't left behind, with chances to sack the opposing quarterback, force a turnover to regain possession of the ball, or block crucial kicks. The tension is constant, and the luck of the dice can change the game at any moment.

The objective is clear: be the first team to reach 21 points and take home the victory! Pickle Football League is a fast-paced game, perfect for those looking for competitive fun and plenty of interaction, with that dash of luck that only dice can bring. It's your chance to be both coach and player in every decisive play!
