Players viewpoint- first game.
This is my first game of Dreadball and i used the Human team, the game is really quick to pick up and really fast to play, although this game took longer due to taking notes and pictures. So i had no idea how the game would of played out, all the action that happened was totally unplanned and real.
This game is now on my purchase list. There are two full teams in the starter box (humans and orcs) , along with the rules, team rosters, cards and counters. I really want to try out some of the other teams to see how they all work in Dreadball.
Funnily enough, this Iron Man style paint scheme seems very popular. Here is another example from the other end of the world.
ReplyDeleteDreadball seems like a fairly good game. How would you rate it next to the obvious competition (i.e. GW's BloodBowl)?
