I've only got two rerolls per half, and if I use both in a single play it had better be for something worthwhile. When the other team's down and bleeding, then we'll remember about goals and think about walking one in. I think it is a good thing for new players." "Depends on the situation, of course, but it gives more elasticity to the system. You have to put a lot of thought into committing more than one to a single manoeuvre. And you can use more than one reroll each turn. Everyone has the ability to jump over prone players, adding a little mobility.

For instance, my troll has a new skill called projectile vomit, which I use to puke stomach acid all over Bastian's ogre. Though everything that makes it Blood Bowl remains in place, the rules have changed in plenty of ways. (Image credit: Cyanide Studio) We are the champions

It's five minutes into the match and already we're laughing, as we will be again when Bastian commits a foul on one of my players (making the PR guy quietly watching us chide him for not going easy on me), and again when I push one of his players into the rabid crowd to be pummelled into unconsciousness, and again when one of my goblins scores a touchdown against the odds. So yes, Blood Bowl 3 is still the same Blood Bowl in spite of any changes: a game that encourages you to prioritise actions with the least chance of failing, yet will still sometimes slap you in the face because the dice are nobody's friend. A perfect first turn for my first game of Blood Bowl 3. My orc hits the deck, and it's an immediate turnover. I elect to reroll, and get the exact same result. That would normally mean both players take a fall, except he's got the Block skill which prevents Both Down results from applying to him. Each comes up with the same result: Both Down. I pick a humie player with no friends around, and execute a block on him-rolling two dice and choosing the most favourable since I'm stronger. On the first turn I make a safe move, which is to say I hit someone smaller than me.
