Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Jukem Football is a Mille Bornes-style American football-themed card game by sggc Flying Pig Games, designed by Jeff Spelman. It is a reworking of the game Quick Count , a Mille Bornes-style American football-themed card game by sggc Spelman Media, designed by Jeff Spelman. The object is to play to 100 points as often as possible.
Tom Vasel trashed Quick Count in a rare-for-him thoroughly negative review on BGG. But it’s no surprise, as he also hates Mille Bornes.
Jukem has new hazard cards, a beginner’s and expert’s deck, and new artwork.

Jukem Football earns industry praise….
The Chicago Tribune names Jukem Football one of “10 cool games that bring families together”
http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/sc-cons-1202-cool-games-20101202,0,1148521.story
The Toy Man Product Guide, who’s been evaluating toys & games since 1971, ran Jukem Football through rigorous evaluation and playtesting and gave it not one but THREE awards.

Dr Toy picked Jukem Football in her 2010 Top 100 Best Childrens Products?
http://www.drtoy.com/awards/2010-100-Best-Childrens-Products-Awards.php
The Chicago Tribune, The Toy Man, and Dr. Toy all independently reviewed Jukem Football.
Tom Vasel’s opinion shouldn’t be associated here with Jukem because he never evaluated Jukem. His comments are three years old and based on on a discontinued first stab iteration of the game (Quick Count) which was taken off the market over a year ago.
And by the way, Jukem Football is found in over 250 of the very best toy & game stores in 30 states.
If my opinion shouldn’t be associated with Jukem, then you should send me the new version so that I can re-evaluate my opinion.
