Super Bowl Poker Game
Super Bowl Party Games!
Are you hosting a Super Bowl Party? Want to put a little money on the game with your friends, but tired of the traditional “Super Bowl Squares”? Gridiron Experts has a poker game that is fun for all that we’d love to share with you. This game can be customized to playing for fun, drinks, or some big bucks.
What you’ll need: a deck of cards (maybe two decks if you have more than 9 people playing)
Object of the Game: To score the most points from kickoff to the last play of the game.
Prep work: You’ll need to do a little work before you can play, but it’s worth it. Find a deck of cards that has room to write on each card (or write on paper then tape them to the cards). Then assign each card with a different situation that could happen in the game. This game is totally customizable but we made it for you….

Rules: Every person is dealt 5 cards. Each time a players card happens in the game, he or she calls it out and places the card face up on the table. That player scores their points but does not pick up another card until the following commercial break. If a player can use all 5 cards before a commercial break they are awarded a 5 point bonus.
At a commercial break any player that did not play a card can “draw” up to 2 new cards. For those players that played cards, they replace the number of cards they played but are not allowed to trade in the remaining cards in their hand.
A player has until the next snap to play their card before it’s too late, if they don’t call it out the points are not awarded.
For any cards that you have to “spot” something on the field, another person must agree that they saw that moment of the game for the player to receive points for the “spot” card.
Have Fun!!
