Two types of Bloodbowl

Last Thursday I finally (seriously, we reckon it must be two years since we managed it last) got over to antipixi's house to roll some dice. A lot of nonsense and school (it was results day, after all) was chatted first, but then Malc and I got down to a game of standard tabletop BB. I played Chaos Pact while Malc took Slann; the teams ran out to a massive crowd (mostly frogs) as the rain started to pour down on the pitch. Picking up the ball would be an ongoing problem in the wet weather.




Setting up:

The frogs turn out to be absurdly mobile (all that Leap!), but rather squishy and unable to pick up the ball. Despite kicking to him, I had the ball by turn three and ground down the muddy pitch...

... allowing me to make a break, while ganging up and breaking frogs.

I was rather pleased that he had to kick to me after the restart.

And with a rather reduced team, mwahahahaha!

I didn't take any other pictures in the second half, but went for the same approach: get the ball, gang-up on a spread out frog team, slowly advance and score.

At the end, 2(2) - 0(0). Jolly good!

After a pause for pizza we got on to the second type of bloodbowl, the Team Manager card/token league game from Fantasy Flight Games.

I really enjoyed it! It allowed all three of us to play at the same time and, thanks to a particular improvement card, Malc was able to get his revenge and lep from third place to first in the final count-up. I'd play again.
