Absolution Black Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ok, I have just stumbled upon this on MAelstrom's website. It certainly looks like the original Bloodbowl logo and sounds like the game I loved when I was younger (hell still do)...but its made by Fantasy flight games. I realise its a card game...but is it made by Jervis etc? Can anyone tell me anything about it? All i want to know is: is it worth me getting? I love the tabletop mini game but is this worth getting too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkeyKungFu Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 It is absoloutely fantastic. It has temporarily at least stopped myself and the local bloodbowl players from playing bloodbowl for several weeks. There are at least 5 of us at our local gaming group who own a copy. from 2-4 players and plays anywhere from 1-2.5 hrs depending on how well you know the rules. Very fun and its all self contained so no boosters but brings the potential I hope for team expansions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And will hopefully get my other half interested...though she has offered to play the 'proper' bloodbowl at some point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkeyKungFu Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Don't use maelstrom though they suck. Use firestorm instead, they actually sell stuff they have in stock and ship it out within a reasonable timeframe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shae-Konnit Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 It may not be designed by a GW team, but FFG make some great games. I don't have Blood Bowl in stock just yet but I do have Space Hulk and I have played it. Again, it is a great conversion to a card game; seems easy when you start but as soon as you lose just one Marine suddenly the tension increases by orders of magnitude! If the same team that made that worked on Team Manager, I expect good things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I alwayss look up if FFG have a play through intro of each game. I know they do on this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I am hearing a lot of good things about this game. My FLGS sold out of it in less then a week and everyone seems to really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alienated one Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I have it and enjoy it. Its a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 It sold it to me IF I had other people interested in that style of game. Which I don't. Basically, if you have people interested in playing in depth FFG style games, I'd defo get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it has a Chaos faction so I might have one friend who will try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I bought the LoTR Fantasy Flight one, seeing as I still play the GW LoTR game alot and know alot of people that do, I've used it like 5 times. I just can't be bothered spending that amount of money for that to happen again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angor Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I managed to get a a couple of games in and it is definatly fun! I really wish that the cheating aspect had of been implimented in a better way, the cheat tokens just seem totally random and boring and dont really add any more flavour to the game.

Yeah some of my local store guys have decided to make cheating optional. Seems to make more sense that way. You can play straight and nothing bad happens or you can cheat and risk getting ejected.

When it is mandatory you really have to weigh up the odds before you play a card and also make cards like the deathroller broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomsmythe Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I picked this up and really LOVE this game. At the LGS here I hve gotten a game or 2 in and everybody enjoys it. I have been playing Blood Bowl since it came out and seem to have developed a weakness for Fantasy Flight stuff here recently. I think it captures the feel of the game without taking untold hours to play. Plus, it has Skaven and I have a bias towards the rats, so if it has Skaven I pick it up (Like the Chaos in the Old World game, another really good buy).

LonelyPath Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I finally managed to get my hands on BBTM today, not even opened it yet, but I'm eager to give the rules a read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I managed to get a couple of games of this in over the Malifaux GT. Proper ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Was reading the rules last night and it's simple enough and looks lots of fun, can't wait to get a couple of games in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
