Australian Football JK, I actually like American Football from the games I've seen). I much prefer rugby to football... cos they actually score points and not just once in a blue moon (this recent 5-0 victory excepted of course.. but usually you're lucky if you get 0-1 in football ) So what's blood bowl then?
Australia has Aussie Rules. It's about as entertaining as two snails racing...
Blood Bowl is a sport I invented.
It's kind of a mix of rugby and ice hockey with razor sharp sticks and shuriken...
I assume you mean rugby with aussie rules (not football)? Is that something like the difference between rugby league and rugby union... if you have that over there? It's been a very long time since I last watched rugby so I can't remember the exact difference, but I know I massively preferred one over the other... one, the one I didn't like, was always stopping and starting... a bit like American football in that regard... but the other, the one I did like, was brutal and rarely stopped and started, regardless of how many people piled on top of each other. Anyway, sorry about this... as you can see I'm a bit of a troglodyte when it comes to sport... the closest I usually get to 'sport' is snooker Or tennis at a pinch.
As for blood bowl... shuriken... that's a word I haven't heard in a long time. Makes me think of Revenge of Shinobi, a game on the Megadrive. So yeah, that would certainly make for an interesting game
