Ì BLOOD BOWL

INTRODUCTION

‘‘Good evening sports fans and welcome to the Blood Bowl for

tonight’s contest. You join a capacity crowd, packed with

members of every race from across the known world, all howling

like banshees in anticipation of tonight’s game. Oh, and yes,

there are some actual banshees... Well, kick-off is in about

twenty minutes time, so we’ve just got time to recap on the rules

of the game before battle starts. Your match commentators for

tonight are Jim Johnson and myself, Bob Bifford. Evening, Jim!’’

‘‘Thank you, Bob! Well, good evening, and boy, are you folks in

for a great night of top-class sporting entertainment! But first of

all, for those of you at home who are unfamiliar with the rules,

here’s how the game is played.’’

‘‘As you know, Blood Bowl is an epic conflict between two teams

of heavily-armoured and quite insane warriors. Players pass,

throw or run with the ball, attempting to get it to the other end of

the pitch, the End Zone. Of course, the other team must try and

stop them, and recover the ball for their side. If a team gets the

ball over the line into the opponent’s End Zone it’s called a

touchdown; the team that scores the most touchdowns by the

end of the match wins the game, and are declared Blood Bowl

Champions! How do they do it? It’s like this...’’

Ì The Coaches: Don’t look in the box for these, because

there aren’t any – you and your opponent are the coaches! To

avoid confusion with the teams’ players (the plastic playing

pieces), we will refer to you and the other real-life players as

the teams’ coaches. All references to players are to the Blood

Bowl pieces.

rules say ‘roll a D6’ or 'roll a dice', this simply means roll one

six-sided dice. If the rules say ‘roll 2D6’, it means roll two D6

and add their scores together. If the rules say to ‘roll a D3’, roll

a six-sided dice. The result is halved, rounding any fractions

up (i.e., 1-2 = 1, 3-4 = 2, 5-6 = 3).

Ì Playing Pitch: This is the field on which the game of

Blood Bowl takes place. It’s currently big and green (a bit like

an Orc) but don’t worry – it’ll soon be covered in red! It is

divided into squares to regulate movement and combat; each

square can hold only one Blood Bowl player at a time.

The areas at either end of the pitch are called the End Zones .

If a team gets the ball into their opponent’s End Zone they

score a touchdown. These are good things to score, as the

team with the most touchdowns wins the match and then can

dance around a lot!

Ì Throw-in Template: In Blood Bowl the ball is thrown back

onto the pitch by the enthusiastic crowd if it ever goes out of

bounds. The Throw-in template is used to determine where the

ball ends up when it is thrown back in. To use the Throw-in

template, position the square marked with the ball over the last

square the ball crossed before going off, with the centre arrow

(the one marked 3-4) pointing towards the opposite sideline.

Roll one D6. The result will show the direction the ball travels

in. Then simply roll two D6 to see how many squares the ball

will travel in that direction, counting from the square marked

with the ball as the first square.

In the centre of the pitch is the half-way line , and running along

the sides of the pitch are the lines which show the boundaries

of the wide zones . The rows of squares on either side of the

half-way line, and between the two wide zones (14 squares in

all), are known as the line of scrimmage . The different areas of

the pitch are shown on the diagram below.

Ì Scatter Template: The Scatter template is used when the

ball is dropped or a pass misses the target square. To use the

template (you’ll be told when to do this by the rules), position

the central square over the ball. Roll the eight-sided dice, and

move the ball to the square indicated by the score. The eight-

sided dice included with the game is mainly used with the

Scatter template. Use it like a normal D6, reading the number

on the upward facing side.

Ì Block Dice & Six-sided Dice: Blood Bowl uses special

Block dice and normal six-sided dice numbered 1 through 6.

The special Block dice are used when a player attempts to

knock another player down (this is called ‘blocking’ another

player). The six-sided dice are used for a greater number of

purposes, and are usually referred to in the rules as D6. If the
