The NHL Game or The Hockey Challenge (not to be confused with the Monopoly-like Hockey Challenge) is played on a square-grid representation of hockey rink's surface, and plays somewhat like a tactical simulation (somewhat like StreetSoccer). A spinner is used as a substitute for a 6-sided die to determine how many spaces the moving side may travel in a turn. The players on the puck-carrying team must skate in straight lines and must make at least one pass every turn, while the opposing team's players may change their direction of movement while moving.

Some unusual elements are also introduced, however: anytime a team wishes to attempt a shot on goal, a puck-firing device is used by the shooting team, thus an element of dexterity is involved in this game. Also, optionally, players can play the game as a trivia game, wherein on each turn, the puck-carrying player must answer a hockey-themed trivia question from a provided question booklet, or he forfeits control of the puck.
