	Description Edit \| History

Blood Bowl is the game of Rugby slash Football slash Soccer as imagined in a fantasy world of orcs and elves. Game truly shines in a League format, where players gain experience and learn new skills as they play.

Latest rules are now version 5.0. Biggest change is the new Inducement system that does an infinitely better job of balancing teams of different experience. All of the team rosters have also been tweaked, with the previous runaway leaders toned down to everyone else's level. And as a great benefit to teams feeling the need to start over after a first bad game, the Journeyman system ensures you will always have 11 players on the field.

This game is a part of the Blood Bowl Series

Dungeon Brawl (1.1) = Multi-player Dungeon Bowl

My rules for playing BloodBowl in a dungeon with more than 2 players, using small teams of 4 miniatures/player. Unbalanced, but fun! This is the version formerly published in the Citadel Journal. The much improved and expanded 2.0 version with treasures, traps and action cards is not yet written down, sorry...
