![]() Touchdowns are 1 point, there are no field goals or kicks. It is is more a mashup of American Football and Rugby. Second, Blood Bowl is not really like American Football. You are going to need at least 2 teams to play. I ended up selling my copy b/c of lack of people to play with, but I still have Team Manager (the card game) to scratch that itch.įirst, I would suggest getting the Blood Bowl starter box which comes with 2 teams. If doing those things makes you happy, go for it. Build it, paint it, decide if you want to do that 22 more times before going too deep down the rabbit hole.īB is definitely dumb stupid fun, and there's no right or wrong. Was the handful of games I played worth the time and $$$ investment? Eh.debatable?īut honestly, before going too deep into it, buy a cheap mini. Even if you take the 2 teams in the box, you need to have somebody understand how to play at least one of them pretty well. But you need somebody to kinda "love" their team and know how to play as them. The times I DID play with people who made their own teams (no tournaments/leagues, like you, just one offs with friends), I had a blast. I played only a handful of times, as I couldn't find anyone as invested in it as me. I thought about buying a total of 8 teams to have on hand, and got burned out painting my 3rd. If you can find that person, absolutely, its a fantastic game. You kinda need somebody else to shoulder the burden of wanting to build/paint/understand another team. Used to be a massive American football fan. Does the game hold up without all the league elements? What would I be missing out on if I just buy a box for a team (like the $35 ones on Amazon) and don’t supplement them with additional boxes or star players or big guys or whatever? The boxes come with 12 or 14 units, and I’m assuming you pick 11 to play with and then if a player gets injured during a game you replace them with one of the leftovers? Are there certain abilities and mechanics that I wouldn’t get to experience if I’m not leveling up players during league play?Īny other things that a potential new Blood Bowl player (or miniature gamer) should know? I guess I would have to get paint supplies (although the miniatures look decent unpainted), and something to cut out the “sprues” (whatever that is). I just want to treat it as a board game to play once-in-a-while with a friend or family member. ![]() The core game seems like abstract strategy with dice rolls, which doesn’t bother me one bit (some people dislike RNG elements).īut I have zero intention to play in any organized league. ![]() I’ve never played anything with miniatures before, but it sounds fun to decide on a color scheme for a team, paint them how I see fit, and then play with them. football/fantasy creatures is extremely appealing to me. I’m thinking of getting the Blood Bowl Season 2 box.
