To make things even more interesting (and because this is a dungeon after all) the ball is hidden in one of six treasure chests – the other five chests being booby-trapped with a (usually) non-lethal explosive spell! The first team to find the ball and get it to the Of course, being wizards they couldn’t just play Blood Bowl normally, that would be far to mundane, no, they decided to play the game in a magically constructed underground labyrinth. Anyway, a few wizards got tired of all-night arguments about which college was the most powerful, and being keen Blood Bowl fans, suggested that each college should set up a team and settle the matter amicably on the Blood Bowl field.
Dungeonbowl is their attempt to settle the matter without involving the general population – who usually come off rather badly when wizards have a disagreement. For many decades spellcasters have disputed which of their magical colleges is the most powerful. Deep beneath the surface, two teams of highly skilled psychopaths stalk around a dungeon in order to settle an argument that has kept wizards at loggerheads for years.
THE COLLEGES OF MAGIC There are many variations of Blood Bowl played in the Old World, but possibly the strangest is Dungeonbowl. In spite of the rather limited amount of time available to develop the game (or may be because of it!), the game played surprisingly well, so after I was asked for the umpteenth time if we had any plans to release the game, I thought, “What the hell, I’ll update it for the new rules.” And that’s what makes up the rest of this article… What makes this especially surprising is that the game was designed over the course of about a week, when we decided at the very last minute to include a game with two new plastic Blood Bowl teams we were releasing at the time.
The game was a supplement for a previous edition of Blood Bowl, and it proved highly popular – so much so that people still ask me about it at conventions and in letters to this day. Almost ten years ago I designed a game called Dungeonbowl. Blood Bowl goes underground! With updated rules, teleporters and exploding chests, this classic variation of Blood Bowl has returned.
