At least one of the voids may allow a player to gain yards, at least one void may allow a player to lose yards, and at least one void may allow a player to lose possession of the ball to a second player. Additionally, one or more throwing stations located at varying distances from the game board may be provided such that a throwing station farther from the game board allows a player to earn more yardage than a throwing station closer to the game board.
