You can play the game in traditional turn based, which is how it should be played. The original dice roles are even still emulated in the background. It follows the rules exactly to the book, using all the same stats players use to determine throw and catch accuracy and success, as well as blocking and defence success. One of my favourite teams was the Dark Elves, but I also loved playing Skaven as they are much faster than other races, although a little weak if blocked.Īnyway, the computer game version of Bloodbowl is a perfect recreation of the original boardgame. There are quite a few races missing from the computer version of the game, such as Ogres, Trolls, and Dark Elves. Normally a team will consist of just one of these races as they don't tend to get along with each other, but sometimes you can recruit a mix. And finally Chaos, which is a team made up of Beasts such as Beastmen and Minotaurs.

You control a team of players made up from 8 of the Warhammer universe's races, including Humans, Orcs, Goblins, Wood Elves, Dwarfs, Skaven and the Lizardmen.

If you don't know what Bloodbowl is, it is set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, and is loosely based on American Football. Along with detailed painted lead figures of my team's players. And I mostly played the version 2 rules with the great poly board which I painted to look like stone. In the late 80's I think (now feeling very old).

I've been a fan of the original tabletop Games Workshop board game of Bloodbowl since it was first released many many years ago.
