The team also includes some wonderful Goblins and an absolutely incredible-looking Star Player in Varag Ghoul-Chewer. I don’t say this lightly- the Black Orks team may be the best Orks that Citadel has ever turned out. It’s a neat book to leaf through, well-written and presenting the really quite complicated rules in an efficient manner.

There’s tons of fun lore including the history of Blood Bowl and of course Cabalvision commentators Jim Johnson and Bob Bifford put in their obligatory appearance. The Official Rules book is an absolute delight, with page after page of awesome layout and artwork (as well as one disturbing pic of a Chaos cheerleader). Featuring an entirely new illustration style that’s more comic book than faux Renaissance, the whole package just looks amazing. The new box is, as we expect after a few years of stunning Games Workshop boxes, stunning. Granted, longtime Blood Bowlers didn’t mind all of the above too much and they certainly won’t mind that the newly released Second Season Edition retains many of those qualities, albeit with some nods toward streamlining. It felt a little too old fashioned, a little too cumbersome, and a little too archaic. But it was also, even four years ago, somewhat behind the times. It was fun, and it was great to see the premiere name in fantasy football back on the pitch. The biggest name in fantasy sporting is back.Īfter some wilderness years relegated to “cult” status with only a couple of decent but somewhat flakey video games carrying the torch, Games Workshop gave the classic Blood Bowl a new lease on life back in 2016.
