Welcome, sports fans! Blitz Bowl is a fast-paced sports game that pits two teams against each other in a battle to achieve touchdowns, complete challenges, and score the most points through a mixture of skill, luck and aggression! The teams are smaller and the games are faster than in Blood Bowl, but the action is just as intense as each player seeks to distinguish themselves in the eyes of Nuffle in the infamous Crush recruitment rituals. The game features a number of elements that will be familiar to fans of Blood Bowl, meaning that the two games are ideal companions to each other. Players should expect to complete a game of Blitz Bowl within an hour and considerably less once they have a good grasp of the rules, making for a thrilling quick-play experience.
