Then, to add damage to injury, the entire slugfest is set within Games Workshop’s Warhammer fantasy universe (from tabletop fame).

In case you are unfamiliar with Blood Bowl 2 – it is a turn-based, American-football-like, strategy combination of humor with ultra-physical, brutal, yet very tactical gameplay. Yes, I said “Ogre”, as in one of the new races that I will allude to later. However, when I got the opportunity to play Blood Bowl 2 – Legendary Edition, along with its new Official Expansion Beta, I jumped in, sharpened cleats first, like I was stomping an already downed Ogre behind the referee’s back. When I receive a game that may be lesser known, beloved, and revered than Blood Bowl, I can use the description to tease my way into an explanation of the pastime.

Sometimes, it is unfortunate that I have to title these reviews ahead of time.
