So, many years ago, when fantasy football leagues were a new thing, and everyone was getting gridiron fever, a game was available from Games Workshop called Bloodbowl. My cousin bought it, lovingly assembled and painted the miniatures, and we played a few games that summer. And I loved it. I can honestly say that as a youth, Bloodbowl was the first time I ever cared about football off the playground. I wanted to figure out new plays to throw my cousin off, and was excited to see how different teams and players would work out. I just loved the idea of orks and humans and elves all getting together to settle things on the field.
So with the release of a new edition of Bloodbowl I find myself waxing nostalgic, and wanting to ear the table and play again. Saddly, I haven't been able to procure a copy, but who knows, Christmas is just around the corner? Until then, I can still glory in the bygone days of games past, and wait till my opportunity to play comes again.
Are any of you excited for the new Bloodbowl? Is any one old enough to remember the glory days of games past? Let me know in the comments.
