BLOOD BOWL SEVENS

Welcome to Blood Bowl Sevens, the fast and furious game of fantasy football. Blood Bowl is, by its very nature, a game that can take a couple of hours or more to play. For many coaches, real-world commitments, such as work and family, can mean that finding
time for a full-length game can be difficult, and taking part in a league almost impossible. Blood Bowl Sevens addresses this by allowing coaches to play with smaller teams and reducing the number of turns, creating a version of the game that can be
played in under an hour.

What's more, this simplified version of the game is ideal for younger players, many of whom wish to play and want to learn the rules, but often find the complexity of Blood Bowl daunting. Blood Bowl Sevens, with its simplified format and smaller teams, allows
younger coaches to master the game without being overwhelmed by the rules.

THE BLOOD BOWL SEVENS PITCH

A Blood Bowl Sevens pitch shares many similarities with a standard Blood Bowl pitch, but there are a few key differences to be aware of. A Blood Bowl Sevens pitch features:

  1. Two End Zones, one at each short end of the pitch.
  2. Two Wide Zones, one at each side of the pitch, running from End Zone to End Zone.
  3. Two Sidelines, running the length of the pitch, from one End Zone to the other.
  4. The Centre Field, the area between each Wide Zone, running, the length of the of pitch from End Zone to End Zone.
  5. There are two trapdoors on the pitch, one each half, both positioned within a Wide Zone.
  6. The pitch is then further split along its length into three thirds by two Lines of Scrimmage each marking the point at which one of the teams will line up for the kick-off!

Finally, the board itself is split into a grid of squares; seven squares from each Line of Scrimmage to each End Zone and six squares between each Line of Scrimmage, making the pitch 20 squares long in total, and 11 squares wide; two squares in each Wide Zone, seven squares across the Centre Field.

DUGOUTS

As with normal Blood Bowl, each team in a Blood Bowl Sevens game has its own dugout, a safe haven at pitch side where reserves can warm up, where the injured can be tended to and where important game information is tracked. The dugouts used for Blood Bowl Sevens are almost identical to normal dugouts, as described in the Blood Bowl rulebook, except for one important difference; on a Blood Bowl Sevens dugout, the turn and team re-roll trackers only go up to six, rather than the usual eight. This is because there are only six turs per half in a Blood Bowl Sevens game.

  1. The Reserves box.
  2. The Knocked-out box.
  3. The Casualty box.
  4. Turn trackers
  5. Team re-roll trackers.
  6. The Score tracker.
