Editing Blood Bowl (section)

== The Game Itself ==

A NEW EDITION HAS BEEN LAUNCHED, SO PLEASE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE LET'S START WORKING ON THAT, IT CAN BE [[Fail|AWESOME!]]

Blood Bowl is a game where the player assumes the role of a team manager and trainer. The objective of the game is simple on paper: score as many "Touchdowns" (that's reaching the rival's deepest row of squares with a player controlling the ball) while you try to not let the opponent not score any. The reality is a crappy mess. With the abilities of the different players, the high risk of losing turn (even running too fast can make your player kiss the field and lose you the rest of your turn) and the match random events (you thought that [[Daemon]]s are random? THINK AGAIN) which can muck your plans in no time. Even with that, Blood Bowl is a long favorite and [[awesome]], because of the sheer levels of humor in the [http://marmeladov.com/BB/LRB6.pdf rulebook] and the aforementioned random events that will either fuck you, your opponent or both.

The game lends itself well to a continued campaign or "season", not just individual matches. With A LOT of abilities (including mutations) and a streamlined but good promotion system it's quite easy and fun make your own league between friends, while accumulating "Star Player points" (exp. points) and injuries.
