Phutball (short for philosopher's football) is a two-player board game described in Elwyn Berlekamp, John Horton Conway, and Richard Guy's Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays.
It is a soccer-esque game for 2 players where you attempt to get the ball across your opponent's goal line.

| megamau | 2 | It is one of the few games invented for mathematical analysis which is actually fun to play. |

| pim | 1 | Simple rules and intricate positions. A great game |
| rozencrantz | 1 | After enough plays, the game becomes somewhat formulaic. Some interesting ideas here, though. |
| unic | 1 | Clever game. First player seems to have a large advantage. |
| Draw5PlayAll | 0 | More like tug of war than soccer... |
| Laurie_Menke | 0 | Despite the talk of first- or second-player advantages, it hasn't seemed to have borne out that way so far on SDG. I enjoyed playing it. |
| molnar | 0 | I was under the impression this was supposed to be better. |
| Cerulean | -1 | Too much second player advantage. |
| jonah | -1 | |
| Aaron | -2 | It has not yet been proven to my satisfaction that there is not an insurmountable 1st-player advantage. I want to like the game though. Perhaps there's a workable handicap? |
| Elysium | -2 | This game plain doesn't work. |
| nycavri | -2 | I want to enjoy this far more than I do. |
