Gutter Bowl: New Blood Bowl Expansion Brings The Action To The Streets
Blood Bowl is back with a new expansion that puts a new spin on street level Gutter Bowl games.
Games Workshop has announced a new expansion for Blood Bowl and this time it’s not the refs that will be a problem – it’s the local law enforcement. And forget the pitch because these games take place on the mean streets!
Blood Bowl is the indisputable number one fantasy sport, but getting into a league is a real headache. All those forms to fill out, sponsorships to find, and rules to follow. It may be ‘the beautiful game’, but the bureaucracy is a real barrier.
That’s why sports fans with a love of the true essence of the game are flocking to Gutter Bowl: The Game of Street-Level Fantasy Football Mayhem. This is a no-holds-barred version of Blood Bowl played in the streets (and sewers) of cities all over the land without referees to cry foul. It’s a riot! Literally!
Gutter Bowl
I’ll be perfectly honest this seems a lot like a fertile ground for even more insane hijinks than a typical Blood Bowl match. There aren’t refs to deal with and the fans are just as likely to get in the way as they are to watch. This really just seems like an excuse to take your teams and have a street brawling variant of Blood Bowl — which sounds like that’s exactly what this is!
Obliviously with the change in venue is going to come some more changes in the rules. Thankfully, there’s a 32 page booklet that goes over all the changes and new rules. At it’s heart, this is still a game of Blood Bowl…but just watch out for the sewage.
A change of terrain comes with a change of rules too, the facades of market stalls and the dank walls of sewers can be used to ricochet the ball, while the heinous drains also provide effluent-filled hazards unique to Gutter Bowl. New Kick-Off Events inspired by the surroundings also ensure that no two games are ever the same and with far looser security, unruly fans and secret weapons can run amok.
If you ever thought that Blood Bowl just needed less ref interference and more secret weapons, well, check out Gutter Bowl!
This is what happens when the drunk fans take the trash talk too far but don’t want to start a riot — they play Gutter Bowl.
