I participated in a beginner Blitz Bowl tournament a little over a week ago. Since then I have fit in around 8 matches.

I like Blitz Bowl.

It’s short (1 hour tops), thoughtful, and tense. It is not Blood Bowl and comparing them is misleading. This game is its own animal. Each team plays very distinct and the game flow varies greatly. It is unpredictable, but the better player seems to win.

Also, the dice bite you less than in Blood Bowl, so that’s nice. I know, I know. I just said it’s wrong to compare.

Either way, I recommend giving it a try. Shipping is free from the Barnes and Nobles website. Here’s a few shots of my teams and one or two matches below.
