Blood Bowl is a tabletop fantasy football game, set in the [[Warhammer]] world. produced by [[Games Workshop]], introduced in 1986. It was created by Jervis Johnson.<ref>https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/212445/blood-bowl-2016-edition</ref> There are several teams available to play, including all manner of [[elves]] (wood, high, dark), [[dwarves]], [[orcs]], [[hobbits]] (genericized as halflings), [[men]], and [[ogres]], to name a few. The rules have varied over the years, ranging from a close approximation of the parent game's rules to the current sports simulator. Coaches are able to play one-off games, play in tournaments or even set up their own league, under the guidance of the commissioner. In this game, the rules of the game and the rules of the setting are not always in accord; you are allowed to cheat by bribing the ref or hiring wizards to wreck havoc.<ref>https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Blood-Bowl-2016-ENG</ref><ref>https://www.bloodbowl.com/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodbowl/</ref>
