Fortunately, the game now tells you what the percentage chance of success is, rather than having to work it out yourself from basics. Blocking is represented by throwing multiple dice depending on the player’s relative strengths, with the higher strength player allowed to pick the outcome from the dice. Want to grind on a downed player’s throat to send him out of the match? Stamp on the die. Want to sprint an extra square? Run that die. Want to move out of a player’s tackle zone? Move a die. There are dice rolls for almost everything. "Every turn has you organising the most important actions in your head, then recognising their probabilities." Just like American football, passing is a huge gamble and many teams just play a running game, or even a hitting game where you just try to injure your opposing team. In a typical match, players (either human or AI) take turns moving and blocking with their team, whilst trying to get the pigskin ball from their half to the opponent’s backline for a touchdown. Oh, and it’s chock-full of Orcs, Vampires, Skeletons, Ogres, Trolls, Elves and Dwarfs, violence, and cheating. That means it’s turn-based, packed with dice-based randomness and heavy with rules that are quite mystifying to new players. Losing seemed inevitable.īlood Bowl 2 is a note-perfect recreation of a Games Workshop tabletop American Football game set in the Warhammer Fantasy Battle universe.
#Blood bowl dice full
Halfway through the match I looked down and saw my injury box full of K.O.ed players and nobody left on the bench. Their array of Blitzers and stronger Black Orcs meant that I had to spread my hard hitters more thinly, and couldn’t take them down as quickly as they could my players. My mistake was thinking we could go toe-to-toe with Orcs. Once they were down (knocked out or stunned) I could quickly create a channel through to the endzone for my ball-carrier. In previous matches, against Dark Elves, Dwarfs and High Elves, I’d relied on focusing superior numbers of human players around my Ogre, to get support for blocks on the enemy hard targets.
I was two touchdowns up and they hadn’t stepped into my half, yet I was going to lose.
