About this game

Fantasy football meets tactical miniatures combat. Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, and Humans field teams on a gridded pitch, blocking, dodging, and passing their way to the end zone. Dice determine outcomes but positioning and risk management separate winners from losers. Foul your opponents, dodge through traffic, or throw a Hail Mary pass with your troll. The third edition streamlined rules from decades of development while keeping the brutal humor and tactical depth that made this a Games Workshop classic.
