It may look daunting but it’s very very easy to assemble. They can cheer the team on bolstering morale or throw rocks at the opposing team or even do a full blown pitch invasion! Naturally whomever attracts the most fans is usually on the benefiting side of this arrangement. This is important because the fans are a rowdy bunch and can (and often do!) impact the game itself. First you roll off to see how many fans arrive to watch the match. Using the starter set it’s easy because you have only a handful of models to choose from.Īfter each player has his team selected it’s time to get the game going. I don’t mean building the models I mean using a starting pool of 1,000,000 Gold to hire/purchase players. The Blitzer is set to CHARGE!!! GameplayĪs prep for a game you first need to build your team. It’s zany and funny and it just works, but you don’t need to know this in order to play the game. Like the background the game does not take itself seriously, at first glance. It’s all very light hearted, violent and worth a few chuckles. If you want to you can purchase a series of books written about the game or comic books and video games. There’s even dedicated sports casters and a hall of fame. Famous teams, players and stories the game even has its own god (Nuffle) who takes pride in blessing and cursing your die rolls. Teams range from mummies, vampires and zombies to orcs, ogres and humans (only Orc and Human teams are in the box). The general gist is that it’s a kind of American Football parody set in a fantasy universe. They are slightly too big but it’s better than nothing. They are an odd size so sleeving them was an issue. My only gripe with the components would be that cards that come with the game. There isn’t really any need to paint them because they are in 2 different colours of plastic but it will really help when it comes to telling the models apart. The most complicated model is only 3 pieces. You will still need to assemble the models yourself but that’s so easy with these guys. The main attractions, the miniatures, are absolutely superb. The sturdy boards are also double sided, one for each of the factions in the box. There are nice chunky dice, including an unusual D16. In typical GW style the components in the box are of a really impressive standard, the rule book is well laid out with step by step examples and lots of pictures.

The latest version of Blood Bowl was released without much fanfare at the end of 2016. ![]() Leagues were held and rules were refined and for many years the game just kept going from strength to strength. The fans stepped up and kept the torch burning. There was even a period when the game was no longer officially supported. It was first released back in 1986 that’s 30 years ago! It’s been through a few iterations with a new edition released late last year. Sometimes, assumptions can be made, close to 100% certainty.Blood Bowl is not a new game. Many team names are given but they are not attached to any race. *Please note that the collection of team names is only given if the race has been verified. For the most part- teams come and go and only become a footnote in history, if they are lucky! Below are the teams for each race that are mentioned throughout the known canon but whether or not they are well-known throughout the world is anyone's guess. No matter what sport is being played, there are teams which become legendary- either due to their win percentage, their creation of casualties, or because they helped to evolve the game.
