About the game
Skaven Team is part of the Blood Bowl Series! Rules and a set of counters for Skaven teams for Blood Bowl (first edition) were published as a pull out section in White Dwarf issue #86 (Feb 1987). Gameplay-wise, Skaven teams have faster players than most other teams, can't have Defensive or Kicking players and use a different Star Player Table, where the most common result is a Chaos mutation (a roll on the Mutations Table). The rules also include an example of a veteran Skaven team, the Skaven Scramblers.

The listed playing time for Blood Bowl: Skaven Team is 120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Blood Bowl: Skaven Team for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
