Four Downs, Four Bags

One bag in the hole (a completed pass) is equal to 4 bags on the board (a rush). A player or team must be at least one full score (pass or rush) above the defense.

Directions

How to Start

Flip a coin. The winning team gets to decide if they'd like to start as offense or defense. Start a timer on your phone for 15 minutes.

Each Turn, The Throw

The defense throws all of their bags, one at a time, and leaves them on the board. The offense then throws all of their bags, one at a time.

Each Turn, Scoring

If the offense matches what the defense has thrown, they earn a first down and remain on offense. If the offense matches and then gets one in the hole, they have a passing touchdown.

Rushing Touchdown

If the defense does not land any bags on the board, and the offense lands all 4, it is a rushing touchdown. The offense is one full score (pass or rush) above the defense.

Turnovers & Pick Six

If the defense has more bags in the hole, or on the board, it is an offensive turnover, and the defense takes over on offense. If the defense is two full scores ahead of the offense, it is a pick six and the defense gets the touchdown.

End of a Quarter / Game

After 15 minutes, players should change sides. The player or team with the highest score after 4 quarters is the winner.

Keys to Winning

  1. Bring a big game.
  2. Be careful not to hit defensive bags into the hole.
  3. Have your endzone dance at the ready for maximum intimidation.
