The original Dungeon Bowl - fully titled as Elves, Dwarfs and Dungeonbowl - released as a supplement to Blood Bowl’s second edition in 1989, which is why Age of Sigmar players might be scratching their heads over mentions of Colleges - it used the now defunct Warhammer Fantasy worldbuilding for its setting and team composition. That game looks and plays a bit like American Football by way of a meat grinder gauntlet. The narrative - for those who need it to justify their madcap actions - is that bored wizards from the eight Colleges of Magic assembled the most murder-thirsty teams to play in a game they created and from which few will likely survive. The slightly zanier sibling of Blood Bowl buries the concept of organized sports deep underground where teams of units rush through the dank confines of some wizard’s basement, avoiding traps, pitfalls and the opposing team’s deadly intent. Pre-eminent miniatures maker Games Workshop recently shared a slew of upcoming additions to both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar, but one announcement that stuck out was the reveal of a new edition of dungeon-crawling competition Dungeon Bowl.
