@WatchItPlayed 4 года назад

So glad you found it helpful - I hope you have a great time playing!

@f1sk8mm 4 года назад

My son and I just finished our first session. Great game. I haven't played a lot of blood bowl, less than 12 games, but I like how quick this is, the challenge cards add some great decisions, especially given touchdowns are worth three points and cards are one or two. Highly recommended.

@KarmaSquare 6 лет назад

The timing on this game is perfect!!! My son has been asking me to play Blood Bowl for some time now and even though I know he could handle playing, I don't think he has the attention span to play a full game of Blood Bowl. But now with this Game he will now be able to play a lighter version of the game and still feel like he's playing Blood Bowl (sort of) and it will get him into the game easier when he's ready. I look at this as an arena football version of Blood Bowl. But yet still has all the flavor of Blood Bowl. I've already preordered my copy at Barnes and Noble. He's also 8 years old which is the exact recommended age.

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

That's great that you'll be able to play this with your son! I'm glad this game was a good fit for you!

@timtheenchanter6418 6 лет назад

Looks good, a great BB intro game to teach some of the core mechanics (passing, tackle zones, block dice, various player roles). The extra team cards for Elf/Chaos/Skaven are a very nice touch, in case someone doesnt like the Humans or Orcs and encourages expansion with existing sets. Also a nice way to get some extra models for your base teams.

@mermuse 6 лет назад

Great video Rodney. You asked for questions so... 1. How common are one turn touchdowns? With no positional reset between touchdowns and 3 actions it seems likely. How many times did you see it in your games? 2. Is there no ‘turnover’ rule where a failed action ends your turn early? 3. What is the normal spread of points you can win per turn (without endgame cards) what is the highest score you can earn in a round with endgame cards? 0-9... 0-15? 4. What is the craziest power you can get by scoring challenge cards. 5. Can a blocker activate again after a successful shove result? Is there a way to get a free follow up movement after shove? 6. Is there any reason to stall for time and not score when you have the opportunity. Running down the clock to score as late as possible was a core/annoying strategy in bloodbowl... does it still make sense in this game? Thanks,

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

Hey Mermuse. Due to time constraints, I have to limit answers to rules related questions. Too many videos and potential games to cover :) This would be a cool discussion to have over on BGG though, with other future players.

@codyfrieden7911 3 года назад

Hey Rodney! Great tutorial. I wanted to ask about one rule though. When an opponent scores - the ball coming back to the pitch only bounces if a player is on the trap door - correct? It doesn’t specifically say that - but think it is implied roughly. Thoughts?

@WatchItPlayed 3 года назад

Hey Cody, the ball always bounces - hope that helps: "If there is no ball on the board at the start of any turn, a new one enters play. First, the trapdoor opens - if there is a player standing on the trapdoor square, they are immediately injured and placed in their team’s Dugout! Then the ball is placed in that square, and immediately bounces."

So this is basically Diet Blood Bowl, but it plays faster and eliminates the team building mechanics

@bf90rono 6 лет назад

And alot of the tactics that is Blood Bowl. Looks alot more like Guild ball then Blood Bowl.

@12neef 6 лет назад

This is meant to be an intro into blood bowl. As someone who is interested in it but my local meta is not, i wouldnt mind buying this to try out wit people. The price is $45, the cost less than one team. Do i want to pay $150 for the box set and possibly have no one to play with? This is not meant to replace blood bowl but to catch a wider audiance which is why it’ll be sold in barnes and noble and not in most gaming stores.

@Kamakazie27 5 лет назад

@@bf90rono In what way does this look like Guild Ball to you?

@ratchetmechani2002 3 года назад

I'd mainly get this or expansions as a cheaper alternative, get rid of the challenge cards and just play an 8 round game of Blood Bowl and whoever gets more touchdowns wins.

@WatchItPlayed 3 года назад

Yep, a much faster playing version.

@-Markus- 6 лет назад

Like the pacing and streamlining if this compared to BB but i was really disappointed that it isnt about touchdowns but about victory points and objective cards. I like that the challanges grant you bonus plays, thats neat, but they should have kept the fixed turn limit from BB and made it all about scoring touchdowns, not claiming points. Superb walkthrough though, as always!

Nope, but I don't have a Blood Bowl video to walk you through the differences and it's been awhile since I played it, so I don't want to try to dissect those differences from memory :) They share similar DNA, but the rules are different enough that I wouldn't call them basically the same thing - the challenge is, what I think is "different enough", may not be different enough for someone else. Everyone will have their own ideas about that - which is generally why I try not to comment on those sort of things.

so there is no perma death?just dug out time? well the game seems cool enough, they have eliminated a lot of the dumb luck rolls from Blood bowl, (though in my opinion those make up some of the best moments of the game LOL) in favor of calculable probabilities. I still love the story element of following players in Blood Bowl and watching their careers until the inevitable death as they reach for the ball and trip over their own spiky bits landing just right to not only break their own neck but also killing the ref in a grizzly tangle of bodies resulting in a penalty that even the blood-wiser babes can't help with ..... good 'ol blood bowl. though it does eliminate the high stakes and alternate play styles of Blood Bowl, I mean you can play to get the most touch downs or you can play to crush the apposing team into forfeit for not enough players left alive..... so ya the stakes are much lower.
