Blood Bowl
Anyone play it?
The lions sing and the hills take flight.
The moon by day, and the sun by night.
Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool
Let the Lord of Chaos rule.
Re: Blood Bowl
HELL YEAH!!!!
I am now the owner of an Orc, Halfling, Chaos, and Khemri team. I also had an undead, norse, and skaven team until I Ebayed them.
It is the best game GW has ever written (with SH a close third), is perfectly accompanied by beer, has a load of nice minis (both GW and non GW), and proves that Jervis Johnson could be the second coming of Christ by its sheer brilliance.
If you are not already playing it, why not????!!!!!
If you ever want a game and can make it to Yokkaichi, I am more than happy to demo for you. If not, I'm sure one of the Nagoya guys would be equally happy.

Re: Blood Bowl
I'll have three teams when I get back from stateside.

Re: Blood Bowl
I have one
It is a good game though. You can use whatever minis you like. It doesn't take much time or space.....

Re: Blood Bowl
I've just got my Human team, the East Central Houghtonburgville Fighting Royal Butt-Kickers.
It really is Jervis Johnson at the top of his game, though (to see proof that he's not always on fire, just look at Advanced Space Crusade). Even just one-off games with out-of-the-box teams are good fun.
I've been meaning to check out the computer game, which is the rare 100% faithful adaptation of a board game.

Re: Blood Bowl
I haven't played the video game against anyone. I have played against the computer and it is crap. Crap in a pretty bag but crap nonetheless. Poor AI and the skill don't always work the way they should (dauntless being the one example I can think of off the top of my head). I am not a great coach by any stretch but I routinely win the games I play on my DS due to poor AI.
if you want to play Blood Bowl in a form other than on the table, check out FUMBBL.
