Description

Veteran game designer Brien Martin rhapsodizes about his wealth of playing experience across all tabletop sports. Fans of recently released Fast Drive Football have no doubt noted Brien's World Football League replay with his homebrewed cards. He's also thinking creating a fictitious "living league" for the game.   

Of his many credits, one of Brien's crowning achievements is partnering with Steve LeShay, creator of SherCo Grand Slam Baseball, to revive that classic in 2016 (the game celebrated its 50th anniversary two years later). Brien redesigned the rule books and stadiums and created decades worth of new seasons.  

Brien's experience runs the gamut across all the best-known games — and some of the more obscure ones. He also contrasts war and sports games, particular their disparate rule books.

The APBA Football Club was launched on Jan. 28, 2011. Bringing the game of APBA Football into the social media world, we offered everything from interviews with APBA icons and players, method-of-play tutorials, close study of the game's player cards and results boards, and much more. In August 2013, we held the first full APBA Football-only tournament at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. After an initial run from 2011-16, we're back to assist in further promoting and educating the APBA community. 66s to all! For podcast ideas and feedback, email apbafootballcluboriginal@gmail.com
