Playing the Game

The World's Favorite Football Game!

Tudor Games Logo Two teams of football players face off on the vibrating gridiron to create the action and fun. Our new Electric Football games have innovative features including Invisibase Cleats that make it easy to activate player routes, SpeedTurf Metal Fields that are superior to our older models, and PlayAction Remote Controls that allow you to change the speed of the game during a play.

How to Play

Both you and your opponent (or you alone, if playing solitaire) field a team of eleven football players. Just like in real football, you try to advance the ball down the field and score by running, passing, and kicking the ball. In Electric Football, you're the coach and you set your plays.

We recommend you start by getting familiar with the TAP rules - Tudor Advanced Play! The rules are easy to learn. Also watch the YouTube videos on TAP HERE - you will learn a lot from these videos.

Vibration Makes the Action Happen

When you press the button on the side of the handheld remote control, your Electric Football field vibrates. This vibration makes your players move on the field. You control the amount of vibration with the speed control knob located on the remote control, which affects the speed of play. You control the game with your knowledge of football strategy, how you match your bases to your players, and your creativity. It's a great way to learn and enjoy the game of football!

Fun to Learn

Tudor Games Electric Football is the only hands-on game that puts you on the field. The game plays like real football and with practice, you'll be amazed at how fast you can become a skillful player! Great for one player (solitaire style), two players, or more. Electric Football is safe and fun for all skill levels. It builds interpersonal skills, develops hand-eye coordination, and helps teach the essential skills of the physical world.

Our football player figures are all the same size and are used on all sizes of games.

Base Basics and Training

Bases are Key to Winning

The fun and challenge of Electric Football is creating a collection of bases that move your players down the field in predictable ways. Here is an overview of how bases work, their various options, and how to choose the right ones for your style of play. Soon you'll be coaching your team of player and base combinations to victory!

Bases and Players

On older Electric Football sets, the base and the player were molded together in one piece. Modern bases and players are separate from each other and interchangeable, meaning you can mix and match them and truly create your own team of players with predictable skills. This is the key difference and the essence of the modern game of Electric Football.

Types of Bases

There are four main types of bases: Rookie, Total Team Control (TTC), Pro Line, and Invisibase. Invisibases are a newer and completely different design. Pro Line bases are a variation of the Rookie and TTC Bases. Pro Lines are made with a wide variety of combinations of clips, spikes, and fronts.

Rookie Bases

Rookie Bases

Rookie Electric Football bases are available in packs of 12 in assorted colors. Rookie bases are all double clip bases with fast spikes and gently rounded fronts. Works with all action figures.

TTC Bases

TTC Bases

TTC Electric Football bases are available in 12 packs of assorted colors and include Dials. TTC bases are all double clip bases with fast spikes and gently rounded fronts. White Dials are included. Works with all action figures.

TTC Bases

Pro Line Bases

There are 12 different types of Pro Line bases. Pro Line bases consist of different combinations of shells, clips, spikes, and fronts. This gives the aspiring and pro coach a wide variety of techniques and options to build a winning team. Works with all action figures, except the Single Clip type, which only fit action figures that have a rectangular slot in their platform.

TTC Bases

Invisibases

Invisibases are a new design that results in players running straighter right out of the box. Invisibases come in two styles: Strength Cleats and Speed Cleats. A Strength Cleat has two blades that run the width of the base, while the Speed Cleats are narrower versions of the Strength Cleat that can be angled to turn the base. They can be tweaked quite effectively, like all Electric Football bases. Works with all action figures.

Training and Tweaking

Watch our Youtube "Tweaking" Playlists for more in depth videos to get you started.

Bases can be temporarily "trained" to run different patterns by gently bending or twisting their spikes right before a play. A base's plastic spikes have memory so they will resume their original molded state after a play. Methods exist to permanently train your Bases to perform any way you like. This is called "tweaking" and it's a core skill of professional Electric Football coaches. By tweaking and assembling your base and player collection, you can create a roster of players to compete in conventions and tournaments. For more information on tweaking, see the Training Camp page.
