A downloadable game for Windows

Idle Gridiron

A virtual dice roller where you choose a team that has offensive and defensive skill points. You then set your game strategy and then press "play" to see how your team plays against your opponent.

The game plays itself - like an idle game - and at the end you sift through the game statistics to work out what worked well and what didn't.

At the end of the season you are subjected to the whims of your fan base. If you have a winning season then there is a chance your geographic influence and budget grows. If you have a losing season then less money, less geographic influence and your club might even go bankrupt and fold.

Games are simulated and outcomes are determined instantly based on team abilities and game day strategies. Each game can be "viewed" by watching the play-by-play breakdown so each coach can try to work out what strategies need to be tweaked.

Share game files with your friends so they can root for a team. They can watch the same play-by-play break down and ask you to tweak team strategies in your game. Everything is offline so there are no network or time zone issues. This game will be a management game at the team level (no individual player stats) and will be all about the numbers, the trends, the lucky dice rolls. Stats and number nerds welcome!

For six players (no bots available just yet).
