Arguably the most common way of playing Blood Bowl is as part of a league.
This is where a team will grow and improve from game to game, and even a rookie team can eventually reach the heady heights of superstardom with enough games under their belt.Coaches will see their teams adapt and evolve over the course of a league season. Coaches are able to buy new players for their rosters, and watch their players blossom into truly skilled stars that are the envy of other coaches throughout the league. However, there is just as much chance of a team having to deal with less than ideal situations as the season progresses. Players are likely to pick up injuries in their games, some of which may lead to them having to miss games, reduce characteristics, or even see them get killed on the gridiron!
Regardless, one thing’s for certain. By the time the end of a league reaches its conclusion, and the play-offs are within reach for the lucky teams left standing, the grizzled, battle-hardened teams will look very different from those fresh-faced rookies that kicked the season off many games ago!
League Play Rules!
League Play is a system of linking your games of Blood Bowl together and watching your teams grow and develop over the course of multiple games. As a result, there are a number of additional steps that are required at the start of the game, and the end of each game, in order to represent the multitude of situations that can arise during the course of a league. Coaches will also need to track the likes of Star Player Points and Casualties during the game; both of which are explained later in this section.
In this section, we are going to take you through all of these differences so that you have all the additional information on how to play through your league games, including the additional Pre-game Sequence steps and the Post-game Sequence steps. We will also explain how you can run your own leagues.
