Blood Bowl (Second Edition)

About this board game

Blood Bowl (Second Edition) is a two-player fantasy football board game with an approximately 180-minute play time. Released in 1988, it presents a match between a human team and an orc team.

While the teams are ostensibly playing football, the game focuses on taking turns to move players, block opposing players, and advance the football down the field. Each turn provides an opportunity to manage movement and blocking as the teams contest the match.

• Fantasy football theme
• Two-player matches between human and orc teams
• Turn-based movement, blocking, and football advancement
• Plastic miniatures included

The basic game gives both players a direct contest between two contrasting fantasy teams. Human and orc miniatures represent the participants on the field, while the football provides the central focus of the match.

With its combination of football action and physical confrontation, Blood Bowl offers a distinct take on the sport through a fantasy setting. Players alternate their turns while working to move their team and advance the ball.

As the Second Edition in the Blood Bowl series, this 1988 release is defined by its human-versus-orc matchup, plastic miniatures, and turn-by-turn field play. It is a substantial two-player game for fans of fantasy football themes and tactical movement.
