Draft your dream team

Every season starts with a high-stakes auction draft. Outbid your rivals to build a powerhouse roster, with star players at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and every other position.

Each player has a ranking that drives how they score, so every bid is a step toward ruling the season.

Face off every week

The season is a round robin, so every manager plays every other manager head to head. Each week you roll dice for each of your players based on their ranking, and both managers roll into the field at the same time. Highest total wins the week.

Strategy gets you the roster. Luck decides the game.

Breaking news shakes up every week

Breaking News cards bring injuries, trades and other surprises to your roster. Then you get one chance to adapt, bidding in a fast waiver round to strengthen your team.

Trading players and tokens with other managers is allowed. In fact, it’s encouraged.

Crown a champion

The top two teams from the season meet in the Championship Game, one final showdown where every roll and every decision counts. Only one is crowned the Huddle Champion.

Do you have what it takes to claim the trophy?

Rules questions

What is an auction draft?

Instead of taking turns, managers bid on players from a fixed budget. The highest bidder adds the player to their team, which makes every pick a contest.

What happens if two managers bid the same amount?

There are no tie bids in the draft or in free agency. If a manager bids 3 tokens for a player, the next bid has to be 4 or more. The first manager to put down a bid has the first right to that player.

What is team stacking?

Having two or more players from the same team earns an extra star for one of them, so you roll one more die for that player. You can stack several teams to raise your chances of scoring big.

When can I trade players?

Trading players and tokens with other managers is allowed and encouraged. If you see a chance to improve your team while giving an opponent something of value, start negotiating.

What if I run out of Waiver Wire chips?

You can’t bid in the Waiver Wire phase anymore, so you’ll manage the roster you have for the rest of the season. You can still pick up players other managers drop into the Free Agency pool, right before that week’s games start.

What if I can’t field a full lineup because of injuries or News Alerts?

You roll zero dice for any position you can’t fill. Use Free Agency or trades to fill the gaps before the next week.

What happens with a three-way tie for the championship?

All three teams play one championship round together, following the usual week: News Alerts, Free Agency, then the game.
