Football Connect

Description

Football Connect is a bingo type social game based on live game events (plays) during NFL games. Players start with random digital game cards that contain the many different plays that happen during Football games, such as touchdowns, first downs, interceptions, fumbles, etc. Players use strategy and game knowledge to earn more points by swapping the events with a specific player event (e.g. Aaron Rodgers TD pass) or they can play it safe and pick the team (Packers TD). When a row or “connect” is unlocked by successfully predicting a series of events, the player earns points while competing against friends.

I worked on this game for http://1up.fm for the iPhone platform.
