About this game
Fantasy football taken literally: Orcs, Elves, Humans, and Dwarves play a brutal parody of American football where touchdowns are secondary to the carnage. Blood Bowl combines tactical grid movement with dice-based blocking in matches that feel like miniature wargames on a football field. Each race plays fundamentally differently, from nimble Elves dodging through gaps to Dwarves forming an impenetrable cage around the ball carrier. A Games Workshop classic reborn.
