While some fans may lament the loss of the league and special ball rules from season 2… nothing is stopping an enterprising fanatic from porting those systems over. How does this stack up to other editions of Blitz?

For example: The Badlands Brawl adds additional block dice (to a maximum of three), all but insuring that the game is going to be a whole lot bashier. Players roll a D8 to see where the game is being played and apply quire rules for each. If your teammates are terrible at throwing the ball, why not just hurl them across the pitch! Lastly, Regional League arenas are also in play here. Additionally, Throw Team-Mate has shown up in Blitz as well. Block dice are used to determine if you get caught in the act, or if you send them back to the dugout. It’s a staple of Blood Bowl and after playing exactly one game with fouling in Blitz, I firmly believe it belongs in this one too. I could legitimately just write “they added fouling” and call it a day here. Having a near mirror match isn’t a real negative here, these teams are great for learning the ropes! Adding some extra Kerrunch Humans vs Skaven is an interesting matchup for this box as in my first handful of Ultimate games, the two teams actually feel pretty similar to pilot.

Touchdowns are worth four points, challenges are worth 1 or 2. Players keep going until one coach is over ten points or all the challenge cards have been dealt out.

If a player is marked they can attempt to sidestep or block the opponent that is stepping into their zone! Rolling the block die is where the magic happens in Blitz: with results raging from a whiff, to a shove, and even a devastating KERRUNCH! Players who have been laid out prone or bashed back to the dugout only have one option – either standing up or stepping back out into their end zone. Players who are “open” can run, mark (tie up an opposing player by charging in/by) or throw if they have the ball. Challenge cards are drawn and the ball enters the playing field! Coaches finish a pre-turn upkeep sequence and then have three player actions before turning it over to their opponent.

Both options in this box are pretty spicy. Previous seasons have had at least one “tame” board side that had a few less… deadly decorations. This being a physical object in the box is a nice touch.ġ game board.
