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.
Best tutorial for BBSeason2 (or rather 7) ever made! Sums up everything nice and quick, and after 2 games replayed what you are doing i can play exhibition with my son without thinking about "what now???".
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!
Thank you very much! Glad you found it helpful
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:

Cool, now i understand the videogame better. I always wondered how the rules work and maybe i will buy the tabletop game.
Ah great stuff, glad that it helped! It's a really fun game to play on the tabletop especially if you already enjoy the videogame version
This is the exact reason why I'm watching this video 😁
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 🤜 👑
I still have my copy of Blood Bowl First Edition I bought when I was in England in 1986. I had it signed by Jarvis Johnson
Oh cool; that's an amazing piece of Games Workshop history (and must be very valuable!)
Im glad I found this guide, especially since since most rulebooks online are outdated, its painfull as a new player to catch up with current rules because I don't wanna purchase the book.
Thanks very much! Glad you found it useful for helping to learn the current ruleset
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
Blood Bowl is awesome this is a good video better than the official snippet rules
Thank you very much! Yeah really enjoying playing it
Very helpful video. served as a great reminder for me and my brother in our first game with the new rules.
Thanks very much! Glad it was useful for you and hope you enjoyed your game
Fantastic presentation. I watched an entire 40 minute video about a game I have the rule book for. Thanks Nate
Thanks very much! Great to hear you found it that engaging
This is a great comprehensive explanation - good job!
Thank you very much!
Great walkthrough!
Thank you!
Great video! Super clear. Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
This seems so so fun and I really would like to play. Once I get enough money I'll buy it
Excellent! Yeah it's a really fun and often hilarious game to play
its on sale rn if you dont already have it. On steam that is.
Another person here after trying bloodbowl 3 game. Started to win ai games now I understand the game more. Not playing humies yet 😊
Great video, just got bloodbowl and could'nt find answers to some of the rule questions and you pretty much answered them ...
Thanks very much! Really glad to hear you found it useful and hope you enjoy playing the game
This helped alot, thanks
i've always wanted to incorporate spectator sports into my TTRPG campaign but i'm more of a basketball guy. this game seems so cool, though, i might want to get a copy. thanks for the comprehensive overview.
Thanks very much! Yeah it's a cool game to play and could probably bring some funny instances to your TTRPG games
@17:28 It's the kicking team that rolls both Kick-Off dice. You're thinking about the weather roll, where indeed, both coaches roll 1 D6.
Awesome stuff thanks 😊
Thanks very much!
awesome video thank you.
Thank you very much!
great video thanks for making
Thanks very much!
great little video
Cheers!
Really cool
Thanks!
amazing video, thanks mate!
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?
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
Best game ever made
Joining a league next month. This helps
Brilliant! Glad it helped and hope you enjoy playing in the league
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?
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!
That helps a lot, thank you!
d16* casualty role not 2d6
Whoops so it is! Many thanks for pointing that out
Gimp's heaven
Really want to try this, just struggling to justify the £95 asking price for the starter set!
Guess it's to be expected from a company like GW
Don’t buy direct from GW, get 20% off at other retailers
Blood Bowl is easy, just don't fail any rolls!
Would you ever do a super ultra comprehensive video for League Games and such? I've been getting REALLY into watching leagues (thanks Boneheads!) But I'm getting lost on some of the rules not mentioned here
Absolutely! Will look into doing a follow-up video to this with more advanced rules and how league play works
@@JamHammer subbed with the hell on! Thank you!
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.
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)
@@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 😁
Are you ready for some blood bowl jim?
Couldn't be more excited for some thrilling sports action, Bob!
The creator should do Son Of Anarchy

ASTROGRANITE!
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
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!
@@JamHammer Awesome thanks, JamHammer. Your video is the best video I've found on BB rules ty 👍
ultranoob here. why does everything cost at least a thousand gold? why not just remove 3 0's to keep shit simple i.e a lineman could cost 45 gold instead of the added thousand.
Cos it’s cooler if a star player costs 250,000 gold rather than a measly 250.
People like it when it seems they manage expansive teams I guess
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?
A boardgame plays like a boardgame huh.
Great video, too many rules for my simple mind
Gross. Why do sports always have to find their way into everything good and absolutely ruin it.
Haha, they are insidious!
