    Blood bowl was mentioned in my video "10 games I have played way too often" because i have hundreds of plays of earlier versions. From a grognard perspective, this edition looks really solid. A couple of small mechanical changes but i like most of them. Some new teams, which is cool, but no sign of Norse, Amazon and a few others which is less good. I think if you are a veteran, its a set worth checking out. And if you are new, well, its a very solid starter set. (Some assembly required though)

      @@3MBG I once had consecutive quadruple double skulls at the semi-finals of a tournament. Never have I ever raged so much at dice. Even if that wasn't enough, every kick-off event was 100% against me.

      Oh dear, i feel this, i feel this so much. Nothing is more demoralizing than double skulls rerolled to double skills, having it back to back is unreal.

    This is one of those games that need to be played hundred of times to get it. It very strategy heavy, not for casual play. Which is a no no for my group unfortunately 😞

    More dice involved than I thought. Never managed to play but always been interested. Those figurine assembly instructions looked far more intense than Ikea furniture instructions!

    Before investing, I'd really recommend checking out the video games - Blood Bowl 1 and 2, which seem to depict the gameplay pretty acurately, allow you to create your own teams and test dozens of strategies without investing in actual figures

    • @3MBG

      Great point. I play those a lot more these days than the physical version and a real life league just isn't a go for me at the moment

      There's actually Blood Bowl III incoming. I do own the earlier versions, they are amazing. Although a bit pricey when you get all the DLC races etc.

      I'd argue it doesn't. Nothing could replicate the feeling of rolling your own dice.

    I enjoyed the online version for a couple of games. Sadly the community and community rules were too strict for casuals to join. Exactly what they want, but sad for me

      I have heard horror stories about some leagues, gate keeping, house rules to favour people and other nonsense.

    We enjoy Blood Bowl but prefer Blitz Bowl. Our favorite fantasy-based football-like board game, however, is Slaughterball.

    Been really looking forward to this review. I just started playing the computer game of this. Been pretty fun so far. Wouldn't mind painting up a team of snotlings and halflings just for kicks as I love the models.

    I suck so bad at Blood Bowl. It's probably the most rage inducing game I play but I love it.

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've won multiple leagues, and its still the most rage inducing game i've played :) Skill and experience never changes that fact

    I've wanted this since first edition came out. Bought the second last year. I don't think it's that hard to get into and so far I've enjoyed casual play with my young kids, no league games yet as they like to play different games rather than focus for a few months. My only gripe is that I wish it was better supported in terms of cards and elite player figures.

      That last bit is frequently true for GW titles.

      Yeah, probably for the best. Games workshop/Warhammer games are just as much about the model part of the hobby as they are the game. If you don't want to put models together, very much not for you.
