‘Blood Bowl: Team Manager–The Card Game’
July 19, 2011 by admin · Leave a Comment
Fantasy Flight Games has slated the Blood Bowl: Team Manager—The Card Game (MSRP $34.95) for an October, 2011 release. Designed by Eric M. Lang and Cory Konieczka, the Blood Bowl: Team Manager—The Card Game is based on an old Games Workshop property. It’s a standalone game of frenzied deck-building action that takes 2-4 players through the cutthroat excitement of an entire Blood Bowl season in just about one-to two hours of playing time.
Some players rely on speed, others on size. Some will mercilessly injure their opponents, while others cheat like crazy to score touchdowns. The object is to build a formidable team and win the Blood Bowl championship.
Players take on the role of the coach of one of six factions from the Blood Bowl world Humans, Dwarfs, Wood Elves, Orcs, Skaven, or Chaos, and attempt to formulate the right style of play to fit the characteristics of their teams as they customize their decks in frenzied fits of deck-building in order to fight their way to the championship.
BloodBowl Now Recruiting Beta Testers

Amidst news that the official BloodBowl website is now up and running, we’ve received word that the PC version of the upcoming Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC high-fantasy, ultra-violent football spoof is now accepting applicants for an online multiplayer beta test.
On launch, the beta will include only the Human and Orc teams, as well as the former’s home field. It’s a paltry content offering as compared to the final game’s eight promised teams and stadiums, but given that the beta is free of charge, and registration takes less than five minutes, fans ought not complain.
Aside from which teams and areas the beta will feature, the official site offers little further information on BloodBowl, and when it does offer a useful snippet, it’s needlessly cryptic. For instance, saying “the game will soon begin” is the closest the site gets to offering fans a solid date for the beta.
