About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an epic duel in the world of Blood Bowl with Elves, Dwarfs & Dungeonbowl! This package expands the universe of the popular fantasy sports game, bringing two complete teams – Elves and Dwarves – with 32 detailed plastic miniatures for you to command. But the fun doesn't stop there! It also introduces Dungeonbowl, an electrifying variant where the action moves to the dark confines of a dungeon. Forget the fields; here, the play involves teleporters and the search for an artifact hidden in trap-filled chests.

The dynamic changes completely: the objective is to find the ball first, uncovering the dungeon's secrets while dodging dangers. Once the ball is in play, the battle for possession becomes fierce. Every move counts, every pass is crucial, and the first team to score a touchdown claims glory. With unique powers for each race and strategic tile placement to shape the battlefield, Elves, Dwarfs & Dungeonbowl offers an intense and tactical experience. It's the perfect choice for those who already enjoy Blood Bowl and want a new challenge, or for anyone seeking a fantasy sports game with a touch of dungeon exploration and peril. The complexity is moderate, but the strategic depth is guaranteed, promising memorable matches full of twists and turns. If you enjoy fantasy, tactical combat, and sports with a dash of adventure, this game is for you!
