If you’re not familiar, Blood Bowl is like American football, but with Warhammer Fantasy orcs, and controlled like an XCOM skirmish. It’s based on one of the older Games Workshop board games, and a faithful recreation. The previous two games from developer Cyanide have arguably been successful enough that you can credit them with Games Workshop’s decision to start making new boards and minis for the game. Big orc fan Jeremy Peel had a play of Blood Bowl 3 for us earlier this year, and found it another “fond, faithful adaptation” - although he was a little frustrated it didn’t go further. Perhaps the final game will take more risks than expected, or be so polished that conservatism won’t matter. We’ll find out in a few months.
