You have $15. Build a team.
Every seat spins up five players priced $1 to $5 — priced by how good the career actually was, not by payroll. Take one, mind the budget, and when the board is full a 20-game season decides if your bargain board was genius.
The build-a-team-with-$15 game, played straight
The budget squad is the roster argument in its purest form: everyone gets the same menus and the same $15, so the only variable is judgment. Prices are game values from our era-fair ratings — a $5 pick is top-shelf for its position, a $1 pick is the fun tier — and every card carries the honors to argue with. When the board fills, the same season engine that runs the perfect season game plays it out week by week. Prefer your legends one at a time? There's a daily player-guess too, the Franchise Quest, and the full Daily Draft.
Questions people actually ask
How does the $15 budget squad work?
The board deals seat by seat: each seat spins up five players priced $1 to $5, you take one, and the reel moves to the next seat. You have $15 for the whole squad — spend big on one superstar and go bargain-bin everywhere else, or build balanced. When the board is full, a full season simulates week by week and the record is your score.
Where do the prices come from?
They are game prices, not salaries — derived from how good each career actually was (peak plus longevity), priced within the position group. A $5 tight end is a top-shelf tight end. Every card carries the honors receipts to argue with.
Is it the same board for everyone?
The daily board is — same menus worldwide, so scores compare. You can also deal a fresh board any time, and any board can be sent to a friend: your link re-deals the exact same menus.
Can I change a pick?
Yes — tap any filled seat to reopen its five cards and swap, as long as the budget still works. The season only runs when you say so.
Which sports can I play?
Eight boards: football, basketball, cricket, baseball, college football, hockey, soccer and golf — one $15 budget, every sport.
What is a perfect run?
Win every simulated game with a squad that cost $15 or less. It is meant to be rare — a $15 roster has holes somewhere, and the season finds them.
