Go Forward Rugby
Go forward rugby was my first honest attempt at a board game design.
It's heavily abstract. The field is 6 rows with a card rack that moves up and down the field with play. Think of it as the offside line.
The cards all represent the players on the field and you must always have a complete team 1 - 15. You play cards to move the rack forward and the possition of each card on the rack is important. If the rack moves into one of the in goal areas, you've scored.
