Review Detail

I've never played the actual Blood Bowl game. I have no interest whatsoever in football, even (and especially) if it includes elves. Dan, my opponent, is exactly the same. Yet we both had a really good time playing this. I was the Eye Gougers and he was the Wood Elves. It's fast and fun, and wildly chaotic. You can and will get screwed by luck (I certainly did). But who cares? It's a grand time. It reminded me a lot of Campaign Manager 2008, which I liked but had a few things going against it. One, it abstracted its theme a little too much, unlike this one which abstracts it just enough, I think. Two, CM2008 made me think about Sarah Palin, which this game does not. Three, BBTM allows for more than two players, and I'm kind of curious to see how that works
