Blood Bowl Quick Observations
// January 4th, 2010 // No Comments » // awesomeness
For those who haven’t had the pleasure of playing a game of Blood Bowl, the basic premise is that of an American Football game played out in a fantasy reality. Set in the original Warhammer universe, teams come from several different races, including humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, etc. While the aim of the game is still to field an 11 player team and get the ball into the end-zone, often a simpler way to victory is to just stomp the opposing team into the turf and then walk in a touchdown.
If you’re not familiar with the rules, supposedly the game has a couple of easy tutorials for you to run through, but you’ll pick a lot of things up just by playing a few matches. Even though you’ll spend most of your time in the stadium, a lot of the game depends on your team management between events, which allows you to trade and train players, improve your fan support and upgrade team members with armour and weapons.
I used to play many board games, including the original Blood Bowl, and there are so many things that can be excused with physical dice rolls. Every single action in Blood Bowl outside of regular movement demands a roll of the dice, and the resulting rolls are then modified by a player’s personal stats and skills.
I can’t wait till it comes out on PC, so i can download it and play.
