Unboxing Blood Bowl - the Third Season!

No match report this month, just the excitement of two brand new teams and a new rule book in the brand new box set. Bryan had this as an early Christmas present and, as a Christmas present to me, we got to unbox it together!

I love brand new sprues!

The teams are the Bretonnian knights - a team sort of loosely based on Frankish crusader knights - versus the Tomb Kings, mummies and undead from a Pharoahnic culture not unlike Ancient Egypt. Both teams have little nods to their our-world equivalents.

The Egyptians were often buried with cats

This set also comes with handy tokens so you can update in real time what's happening to members of your team and who's carrying the ball.

Also, a new rule book with some changes to game play and the skills and abilities of the miniature heroes. 

It also has some amusing artwork throughout.

If a book is too much, there are quick reference "cheat sheets".

The pitches are a big improvement on the 2016 and 2020 versions, in my opinion. The checkerboard coloration on the turf one will make it much easier to move game pieces. 

The stone side works as well, although the stone sides of these pitches have always been easier to use. 

Bryan and I played 12 games of Blood Bowl in 2025 so we felt we could use a month off from actually playing. Not sure when season 3 will kick off for us. I need to get my own copy of the rule book...
