(How many turn-based football games do you know of?) What really bugs me about the game is that the producers decided to put in badly-made voices and even place themselves as Star Players in the game. Hardcore fanatics of the boardgame will not enjoy the game, as they will feel that they are not allowed to make any decisions regarding their own teams, but those who are just after some mindless fun in a fantasy world will find this game to be interesting and new. So aren't there any positive aspects to this game? Yes, there are - in a manner of speaking. The only way you can influence your players is by buying Star Players like Hafklem Skuttlespike or Griff Oberwald. You may have a Blocker, who would benefit the most from gaining the Block or Mighty Blow skill, but suddenly he will have Sure Hands the next time you see him. The game engine chooses these for you automatically (and randomly, it seems).

When the game comes to an end and all the Star Player Points (SPP) have been given out, you may want to give your players new abilities. The actual playing is exactly the same it is turn-based and will require tactical thinking. Personally, I miss the Magic Helmet most. As you can probably imagine, the game is not the same without these. The first drawback you will notice is that you no longer use the Special Cards (Dirty Tricks, Magic Items and Random Events). Unfortunately, the game doesn't live up to the high standards of the boardgame. You take on the role of the coach, and it is your duty to gain the golden trophy.Īt least this is the idea. The teams you control are the most famous teams in the Warhammer universe: The Underworld Creepers, The Gouged Eye and Dwarf Giants, to name a few.

Blood Bowl is one of the best boardgames ever made this is your chance to play the same game on your PC. If you have come to look at this game, chances are you're a fan of the boardgame - and so am I.
