    I've wanted to play this game since the 90s, but it was pricey when I was a kid and out of print for years. Finally I am getting it.

    Just got this box today! Been waiting ages to get it open but I'm struggling to put the teams together and now my head hurts. I'm glad I looked for a rule breakdown before I read the book otherwise I would've felt extremely bogged down. Thank you!

      Ah yeah the teams are difficult to put together but hope you get there with them and enjoy the game!
      You might find the end of this video useful where it covers assembling and the sprues:

      It’s probably my favourite boardgame of all time. I played second edition and bought my own box in the 90s cheated at every game I ever played coz we didn’t built teams with money and just used all the star players we had 😅 I had the ork goblins and morgnthoeg the ogre so had so many more players than my friend playing humans.
      I have the two newest editions as of lockdown and can actually play by the rules now 😅
      I call the game punch chess 🤜 👑

    Nice video. I'll point out two things: 1) is of course correct but could have been a bit clearer, while 2) is incorrect.
    1) You need to set up AT LEAST three players on the Line of Scrimage. 15:53
    2) In order to get to roll three Blocking dice, your ST need to me MORE than double that of your opponent. 23:08

    but i have only one question that confuses me about throwing player. for example goblin player lands on orc player. orc player is knocked down, okay. then goblin scatters. what if he'll scatter on other standing player? this player knocked down as well and goblin scatters again or player still standing and goblin just scatters?

    I had that first edition. Never actually played it. Also had the Dungeons & Dragons rule books as well as the rather amazing Hollow World set. All sold at car boot sales in the 90s. Dammit! Miss those metal miniatures. Had a couple of teams that I had mostly finished painting. Think they're all plastic now?

    • @JamHammer
      @JamHammer  ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh wow that's quite a haul to part with! Yeah think Games Workshop/Citadel moved entirely away from the metal minis unfortunately; they did 'Finecast' some of the old sculpts in plastic, but these were notoriously poor

    I had a question regarding one of the rules. How do you know how many modifiers are added whenever a player dodges into another tackle zone square?

    • @JamHammer
      @JamHammer  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You generally have a -1 modifier to your Agility test per opposing player marking the tackle zone square you have Dodged into
      E.g. you're being marked by one opposing player, you Dodge into a square that's marked by two players, so you have to roll with a -2 modifier to see if you Fall Over in that square
      Hope this helps!

    If you roll a one after fouling, it is just for the player. You cannot use a bribe. You can still roll for the fouling player or a secret weapon the next times. Also supporting by a block depends not only for the target. Offensive support has to be next to the target and has to be in no other tackle zone. Defensive support has to be next to the blocker and also has to be in no other tackle zones.

    • @JamHammer
      @JamHammer  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the comment! Yeah absolutely the case with the assists; perhaps could've made that clearer in the video
      When rolling a one after fouling though it does say in the book that the coach is ejected along with the player and you may no longer Argue the Call with other fouling players (p.63)

    • @IainCiplinski
      @IainCiplinski ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@JamHammer The newset FAQ clarified that although the coach is sent off, it doesn't use up a bribe and bribes can be used after this although you can't "argue the call" again. Gobbos get one re-roll on it though, so all good 😁

    Does a failed throw of a player result in a turnover? Throwing a player sounds hilarious but a relying on a 6 to successfully throw the player doesn't sound worth it if I down at least one teammate as well as lose my turn lol

    • @JamHammer
      @JamHammer  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not always! If the Passing Ability test is failed then the throw is still counted as successful but the airborne player scatters and is at a -1 modifier for their Agility test to land safely; if they fail and fall it's a turnover
      It's only an automatic turnover if you roll a natural 1 for the Passing Ability test of the throw so pretty good odds that they won't immediately faceplant to mess up your turn!

    I still don't want to adopt the new rules. I think the Living Rule Book was authentically Blood Bowl.
    I hate that GW fans let themselves get neglected for almost 20 years then decided to abandon something that I felt made the game special. To me part of what mad blood bowl cool was how zanny and out there it was and what could signify that better than a rule book that looks like it was torn apart then put back together with duct tape and nails. That sorta cool coloring outside the lines mentality I liked, GW won't support it but we the players will. What the hell happened?
