Blood Bowl (2016 edition): Ogre is an expansion for Blood Bowl (2016 Edition) released in 2017 for 2 players, 45–120 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Grid Movement.
From Games Workshop webstore: "Able to smash, crash and bash through even the toughest opponents, Ogres provide Human teams with that touch of utter brutality sometimes missing from their rosters. It’s not that the Humans they play alongside are puny, far from it – it’s just that sometimes a wall of linemen needs to be shattered, and an Ogre can get the job done much more quickly, and with much nastier results. It’s just more efficient! This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Blood Bowl Ogre. He comes supplied with a 32mm Blood Bowl round base, featuring a hole to slot the ball into when your miniature has possession."
