Fantasy football (board games)
Fantasy football is a genre of board game or wargame which normally involves two teams of fantasy races (such as elves, dwarves or orcs) competing in an extremely violent variant of gridiron football. Often the only resemblance to gridiron football for many fantasy football games is to get the ball into an end zone or goal, but these games still fall under the fantasy football genre.

FanSwarm is the first "social reality" game on Facebook and incorporates real news into the game play. The basic premise of the game is to "back" real life celebrities and earn points based on how much news they produce, whether it is good or bad. The game uses an algorithm that tracks news volume from Twitter and Facebook to determine how many points each celebrity is worth every day. Similar to fantasy football, users choose which stars to back and earn points based on those selections. It has been referred to by the CNN as Fantasy Football for Marquee readers.
