No holds barred, you may trample or cripple an opposition player while the referee conveniently looks the other way. The team reaching the opponent’s end-zone with the ball scores a “touchdown”, by any means necessary. The basic principles of the game are extremely simple: Part strategy game and part sports simulation, Blood Bowl will put to the test the nerves of the best tacticians.
If a team gets the ball over the line into the opponent’s End Zone it’s called a touchdown the team that scores the most touchdowns by the end of the match wins the game, and are declared Blood Bowl Champions! Of course, the other team must try and stop them, and recover the ball for their side. Players pass, throw or run with the ball, attempting to get it to the other end of the pitch, the End Zone. Sure thing, Bob! As you know, Blood Bowl is an epic conflict between two teams of heavily-armoured and quite insane warriors. Could you please, Jim, old boy, give us a quick recap on the rules for those who’ve just joined us? You join a capacity crowd, packed with members of every race from across the known world, all howling like banshees in anticipation of tonight’s game. Good evening sports fans and welcome to the Blood Bowl for tonight’s contest.
