When looking back over my personal gaming highlights, it's safe to say that the tongue-in-cheek football-meets-wargame Blood Bowl will dominate the end-of-season highlight reel. From the game in which my Treeman hurled a halfling for the game-winning touchdown with seconds on the clock, to the game in which my opponent Roger was so angry at perceived bad luck that he hurled an entire team of skeletons at the wall before storming off in a fit of pique, Blood Bowl is a game on which memories are made. For the army of hardcore fans, the eagerly anticipated release of Blood Bowl Team Manager has been long in coming, but this expert coupling of killer franchise and successful deckbuilding mechanic promises to bring out the closet team manager in us all. Blood Bowl has brought much fun to my life, and I've a feeling Blood Bowl Team Manager will do the same.
Really gives you the feel of Blood Bowl the mini game without the long time involvement. Plays very differently 2 player vs 3 or 4.
Blood Bowl captures the essence of the minis game, the fun of the genre, and the fun of a "deck building" game.

If you don’t know what Blood Bowl Team Manager it is, that headline won’t strike you as super-exciting. To those in the loop, it reads a bit like ’$100,000 Christmas Bonus announced for all people of Earth.’ Read more...
