There’s yet another variant called Blood Bowl Sevens, with 7 per side and a smaller pitch.

I won’t have the Sevens rules until Monday.
Stay tuned!
As much as I’ve fallen into this rabbit hole, I’m making a point to not grab as many teams as I had for previous editions, or even for Blitz Bowl.
I still have the 2016 base game teams, Humans and Orcs, and a Skaven team that I never got from previous editions of the game. Continue reading
Blood Bowl 2020 or Second Season Edition should arrive sometime this week.
I thought Blitz Bowl would scratch this itch, especially solitaire. But then I was trying to figure out if it was worth getting a full Blood Bowl team box if I were to only use half the miniatures for Blitz Bowl, which I was considering doing for either an elf team or a lizardman team.
Finally getting around to reading some reviews and watching some unboxing videos got me interested enough in picking up this new version.
Unboxing pics will be posted soon. Along with pics of the soon to arrive lizardman team.
And I may actually paint these figures, finally.
Stay tuned!
I’ve expanded the 1960 SCRAM Racing Series from 19 races to 29 races, doubling up on the non-road course tracks, and adding PLAAY.com sponsorship to the event names.
My plans are to run this and two other racing series (1984 NASCAR, 2016 SCRAM) in my unscheduled sports gaming replay rotation, which seems to have settled on baseball (1921/1971 Giants), soccer (2011-12 Spurs), auto racing, and hockey (1966-67 Maple Leafs). I don’t have the patience or interest in basketball or football at the moment, but that may change as the year goes on.
I may even dip into a few more neglected games/replays.
Stay tuned!
At last, a hockey replay is underway!
Final from Maple Leaf Gardens:
The penalties feature in this game is weird, in that there’s a letter assigned to a penalty, and all players with that letter get a penalty, but there’s only a single power play per ’round’ of penalties, if that makes sense. It’s for statistical purposes.
You also assign the penalty type yourself, arbitrarily.
The game is simple enough, and plays fast, which nowadays is a feature that I favor.
Next up: Leafs go to Madison Square Garden for a rematch with the Rangers.
Stay tuned!
I bought this game in January 2020, printed out the rules, charts, and the 1967-68 team cards.
I meant to give it a whirl but then the pandemic hit and the game went unplayed and forgotten.
A week ago I was browsing the Delphi Table Top Sport Games forum and there was a topic about games that exceeded player’s expectations, and a few people were singing the virtues of Shoot-Out Hockey, so I checked it out online, and then checked my ‘Other Sports Games” folder and found the PDFs of the game,
I started printing out the rules but then remembered that I had already printed everything that I had ordered over a year ago.
I finally went over the rules earlier this week, and managed to play a game. For a quick play (15 minutes) game, it’s got a lot of depth to it.
In a classic matchup of the Habs vs. Leafs, Montreal tied the game 2-2 late in the 3rd period and went on to win 3-2 in overtime.
Today I played Chicago vs. Detroit, and Stan Mikita scored the game-winning goal a couple of minutes after Gordie Howe scored the tying power play goal halfway into the 3rd period. Final score: Hawks over Wings, 4-3.
This is a fun game.
I went and ordered a couple more seasons, 67-68 (expansion) and 93-94 (Sharks first winning year).
I may finally get my 1966-67 Toronto Maple Leafs replay started, along with 1967-68 Flyers and 1993-94 Sharks,
Stay tuned!
