Blood Bowl LRB 5.0

RABBL Presents Blood Bowl 2 - 6 players
Sat2000 (6), Sun1500 (6) Beginner

Minimum age: You must be 13 years of age or older to participate in this event.

Blood bowl is an epic conflict of truly "fantasy" football between two teams of heavily armed and quite insane warriors. Players pass, throw and run with the ball, attempting to get it to the other end of the field and into their opponent's end zone for a touchdown. Of course, the other team must try and stop them and will try to score their own touchdowns. The team that scores the most touchdowns will win the game; of course, it's not always that simple.
