This commercial success led other toy companies to develop similar games.
Payne began working directly for Tudor Games as head of Product Development.
Payne used a softer plastic material to develop a new player piece, the Triple Threat Quarterback, that could run, pass, and kick.
In 1967 Tudor introduced its new flagship Model 620, which implemented a metal playing surface, cardboard backdrop scoreboard, NFL-style goal posts and NFL painted teams.
The ball is a small slit oval piece of felt, rubberized foam or leather.
If the ball touches the receiver figure or its base, it is considered a complete catch.
The original iconic quarterback that comes with the game is capable of passing and kicking and is known as the Triple Threat QB or TTQ.
The app serves as a digital scoreboard with configurable timers matching the flow of real football.
