Underworld teams, fueled by warpstone and exotic mushrooms, consist of Goblins, Skaven, Trolls, Rat Ogres, and Snotlings, seeking revenge by humiliating the richest teams.

Traditionalist necromancy teams feature elite thousand-year-old Mummies, Skeletons, Ghouls, and occasionally freshly risen Zombies stolen from opposing teams.

About This Game


Strap on your boots, don your helmet, adjust your shoulder guards and chest plate… and slip a sharpened dagger into your belt (discreetly).

Wars are no longer fought in the Old World since the populace decided to resolve their differences through a sport dedicated to the god Nuffle: Blood Bowl. However, just as much blood is shed in this sport as on the battlefields it replaced. Murder, mutilation, cheating, corruption, sorcery and even divine intervention are all fair game on the pitch, to the delight of every rabid fan!

  • Be merciless but not brainless – Take control of a team from 12 factions available, each with its own unique characteristics, and hobble the progress of your opponents by positioning your players wisely. Dodge or ruthlessly eliminate those who get in your way and reach the end zone to score decisive touchdowns! The cleverest strategists will obviously have the advantage, but will that be enough? An out-of-control troll could devour a team-mate and change the course of the match.

  • You're the boss – Create players; customize their appearance, emblems and armour; recruit cheerleaders and your coach; then compete in the fiercest competitions in the Old World. But be warned: injuries are common and there's a strong possibility that some of your players will leave the pitch feet first, putting a permanent end to their career…
