My grandparents had an even earlier version of a football boardgame that was absolutely wild. I never even learned to play it the proper way, but it was made out of tin and you set up a bunch of paperdoll players with little foot stand things on top of the tin field, and the whole thing just vibrated like crazy and the players went everywhere. Weirdest thing.
My favorite uncle had this. I constantly bugged him to play it because I imagined it much cooler than it really was. We finally set it up and it was such a letdown.
Oh, fuck - I remember that too. A friend’s friend must have had that. I have a few vague memories of it. Maybe I played it or saw it about three times. I must have said something like “This is really, really weird,” at the time.

I had a ninja turtle version of this, it was the only video game my foster parents would let me play, so I got so damn good at beating it.
