Bank Holiday Rumbleslam

Bryan and I took advantage of a Bank Holiday to try out my new "sport but with little figures of goblins and ogres and trolls" - this time it's wrestling in the form of Rumbleslam! 

Two teams of five wrestlers enter the ring... in this case, the two teams that came in the starter box. They are still upainted and were mounted on blu-tac because I've kept the sprues on to make it easier to paint them.

Bryan took charge of the orcs, goblins and troll. Here's one of the gobbos preparing for his signature move, diving off the turnbuckle as "The Green Eagle".

The game concludes after 5 rounds. At the end of the game three of Bryan's team had been flung out of the ring, whereas only one of my human players had suffered such an ignominious fate.

Overall our verdict was that the game was fun, but like a lot of these games, the rules are a bit complex. The teams were well-matched with a mix of scrappy little dudes and slow-moving sluggerific big guys.

And these are probably my favourite game dice ever - used to determine whether the crowd liked a particular move or not.
