You must hunt down the ball in a dangerous dungeon while avoiding traps, jumping between portals and rummaging through chests to find unimaginable treasures, all in the name of glory, pride and touchdowns. You decide the line-up and the tactics, but remember: victories are not the most important thing, the most important thing is the blood you pour trying to win! Dungeon Bowl is an underground Blood Bowl game for two players. The School of Fire and School of Shadows face off in a customizable layout dungeon, filled with portals to jump through and chests to loot. Will you be able to score a touchdown or will you end up getting caught up in cheating and opponents? This box includes everything you need to start your adventure and get that delicious touchdown.,The teams are represented by coloured plastic miniatures, and push-fit assembly is required before use. The game is expandable, and additional rules and teams will be made available through expansion sets and supplements. Actions in the game are resolved through the use of dice. Regular six-sided dice are used to make tests in a number of cases, such as when a player attempts to pick up the ball, pass it, catch it or dodge past an enemy player. Custom dice are used when one player wishes to Block another, using graphics to represent each of the different (but all violent) potential outcomes.
