3 games of Bloodbowl 7’s in spooky Cheltenham for a paltry sum of £10!
At the beginning of the game, after setup but before kickoff, you randomly select (using a D8) a member of your opponents team (they must be on the field), that player is now a zombie until the end of game!
Building your team:
All rules for team construction can be found on pg.91 of Death Zone 2020 edition (DZ) but below is a brief summary.
Coaches have 600k to purchase players for their team. Coaches must purchase a minimum of 7 players and can go up to a maximum of 11 players. All 27 NAF approved teams can be used.
Teams may have no more than 4 specialist players i.e. a player who is not one of the 0-12 or 0-16 options. In addition, teams may take no more than 2 of the same specialist e.g. Humans may hire 2 Blitzer, 1 Thrower and 1 Catcher for instance, but they cannot hire 4 Blitzers. Vampire, Ogres and Chaos teams are exempt from this rule.
You may purchase any of the inducements listed on pg.93 of DZ except mercenary players - If we have learnt anything from BB2020 we'll just have a dozen sneaky git/MB combos and no likes that!
Star Players & legendary coaching staff are not allowed – They are all busy buying incomprehensible dice that burn your eyes.
Rerolls cost double the normal amount. For example, rerolls on a Dwarf team (inexplicably still only) cost 100k?!
