Blood Bowl Game News, Reviews, Editorials & Unboxings.

Blood Bowl is a miniatures board game created by Jervis Johnson for the British games company Games Workshop as a parody of American football. The game was first released in 1986 and has been re-released in new editions since. Blood Bowl is set in an alternate version of the Warhammer Fantasy setting, populated by traditional fantasy elements such as human warriors, goblins, dwarves, elves, orcs, trolls and Khorne, who are all variants of minotaurs.

In late 2016, Games Workshop released a new version of the game – the first in 22 years. It featured a double sided board and full range of new plastic miniatures. In November 2020, Games Workshop released a new version of the game, titled Blood Bowl Second Season Edition, which included miniatures for two teams and referees, a board (pitch), templates and the rule book. The rule book was also available separately, both physically and digitally. New plastic ranges for all the game's factions along with custom pitches came alongside Second Edition.

Cyanide Studio has created four video game adaptations of Blood Bowl since 2005.

The Blood Bowl factions are:

Amazon, Black Orc, Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegade, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Elven Union, Goblin, Halfling, Human, Imperial Nobility, Khorne, Lizardman, Necromantic Horror, Norse, Nurgle, Ogre, Old World Alliance, Orc, Shambling Undead, Skaven, Snotling, Underworld Denizens, Wood Elf.
