Worth noting i forgot the disengage action, which allows you to move one space to get unmarked. My bad. Anyway, Blitz Bowl is an excellent, light and fun re-imaginging on Blood Bowl, one of my all time favourite and most played games over the years. I get GW want these limited deals, but damn, this could be a real hit if it was more widely available as its a lot of fun.
Excellent review with superb acting. love it. Blood Bowl is an All Time favorite of mine since the 90s but playing time and setting up a league makes Blood Bowl impossible to get to the table. Warhammer Underworlds have scratched the same Blood Bowl itch (not perfectly) with less playing time and no league setup. But Blitz Bowl will for sure be my new Blood Bowl substitute (if I can get a hold on a copy)
Yeah, i wish it was easier to get. We have 2 copies here, a review copy, and a version of season 1 my friend got while he was in the US. But ive not seen any anywhere else in NZ
I'm off to look at Rugby the Game? Small note; Go Forward Rugby was the first design I made as a print n play way back in the early naughties. I should probably go and look at it and see if i still think it works..
Blood Bowl always seemed far too involved for my tastes, but this one looks fast and fun. Between this and Crypt Hunters, I think GW is making some really cool and accessible games, but the limited availability is just a weird move. I have seen Labyrinth of the Necrons popping up in more places, so maybe there is hope that these will get wider availability.
Blood bowl is pretty involved. Interesting to hear the good words about Crypt hunters as that also arrived at the same time and will likely get on the channel once played
@@3MBG Crypt Hunters looks the business, especially with that line of sight mechanic, but Germany & USA only makes it sucky. Importing from German means German language only, and importing from the USA equals brutal shipping and customs.
In Europe it is only available in a German version (www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/ID148355273.html) from German shops. Sadly no English/UK version available
It‘s not even available in the UK, despite being developed there. Yeah, a real bummer. I‘d really like this game to take off and become a world wide hit, leagues and tournaments included.
@@davidlohmer7226 It's two years old, and took a year to make it to Canada, as it was originally USA and Germany only, so I can't see it going global. GW are doing the same nonsense with that new AoS board game. Clearly, there's some kind of rights usage in play, stopping it from a worldwide release.
Couple of new teams, couple of new challenge cards, new team ball cards, new rules for coach advancement and a new double sided pitch. Ultimate Edition adds WAY more teams, new double sided pitch and implements the foul and Throw teammate action. Considerable rules changes as well
Yep, but also a lot faster paced, back and forth game. I love blood bowl, and why i think Blitz bowl works is because its different enough to feel like a new game

Oh, and the voices are a nod to the classic Jim and Bob commentary team that has been with Blood Bowl forever :)
It's a very, very, VERY good imersonation
Thank-you! Someone finally agrees this is based more on Rugby that American Football.
So frustrating we don’t get this in the uk, looks so much fun!
I love the voices!!! :D

You clearly were having a lot of fun on this video.
Its a great wee game, and it hits some nostalgia as well.
I'm off to look at Rugby the Game?
Small note; Go Forward Rugby was the first design I made as a print n play way back in the early naughties. I should probably go and look at it and see if i still think it works..
The guys who did rugby are heading to kickstarter with a 7s game soon i believe
Do you have to stop moving on the ball to pick it up? Or can you move onto the space with the ball and keep moving?
IIRC. If you pass the roll to pick the ball up can keep moving. If you fail you stop
Only availble in North America and Germany... same as that new Age of Sigmar board game they are releasing.

Yeah, "accessible". Just what I'd call games that are available in just a couple of countries...

were can we get this? I cant find it on Amazon.
What Chris said. Yeah, its annoying

What are the differences between seasons one and two if there are any?
Dwarfs instead of Orcs in the box as well. But yeah, not huge differences. I even borrowed a copy of season 1 for a look and didnt see much
Thanks for the info!

So Blood Bowl for beginners, without all the skills?
Yep, but also a lot faster paced, back and forth game. I love blood bowl, and why i think Blitz bowl works is because its different enough to feel like a new game
I wish they'd sell just the components without the models.
Nice angled shot! Was that stop mo?
Which bit? The segment just after the "why would you like this game" bit?
Exactly that one. It's like a crane shot, were you moving the camera?
Ha, no, that's a post production trick using 3D virtualization, to create a virtual 3D pan :)
All done off one static photo. Sneaky right
