Franchise Mania (1999)

This game simulates owning a hockey franchise. Owners guide their team through a season and playoffs. Owners spend money to increase their team's skill and roll dice, modified by skill points, to generate game scores against other owner's teams during the season. Periodically a team must draw a card from one of two decks that alter the fortunes of the team, for good or bad. Play continues until a 40-game season is completed. Teams are seeded into a playoff tree. Each 7-game round, the winner moves on until there is a champion.
