Blood Bowl – The Official Rulebook
“Good news, Bob — it’s the start of a new season!”
“I thought the weather had changed, Jim.”
“No, Bob — it’s time for more BLOOD BOWL!”
Step onto the astrogranite and into the world of Blood Bowl, the fantasy football tabletop game where anything can happen — and usually does. Two coaches face off with teams of brutal Orcs, stubborn Dwarfs, elegant Elves, bone-chilling Undead, or good old-fashioned Humans, all battling for glory, touchdowns, and occasionally their lives.
Expect:
Blood Bowl blends strategy with slapstick violence, letting you decide how your team will claw its way to victory. Will you rely on agility and feints? Or brute strength and a willingness to redecorate the pitch with your opponents?
Whatever your playstyle, the path to fame, fortune, and roaring fans starts here.
