I want REAL fantasy football. With elves, orcs, giants, spellcasters, etc.! Otherwise, it’s false advertising (to me).

Well, there are Giants.

I haven't thought of the "Monsters of the Midway" game from Dragon #65 in ages...

So, you want Blood Bowl?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Oh, they have that too. It's called Blood Bowl and I think it's Warhammer-adjacent?

Yep. (I haven’t played it, though- not completely my fault, though.)

Well, there are Giants.

Yes, but they’re only a threat to Tom Brady.

Baseball Cards but for Nerds happened with Star Wars cards back in the day. Complete with the little square of stale bubblegum.

Sure, but MTG was Baseball Cards as a playable nerd game in addition to collecting and trading them.

I guess this makes cigarette packs the original loot boxes, except that the high-end drop was cancer.

It's like with Stratego, where Tom Brady is the Marshal, but Eli Manning is the Spy.

e: Although traditionally it's Brady who is most known for spying.
