Blood Bowl is packed with character, chaos, and moments of brilliance (or disaster) that make every match memorable, fun and silly. But beneath the dice rolls and dramatic touchdowns lies a deep, strategic game that rewards thoughtful play and continuous improvement (while still giving you 100% opportunity to blame the dice). This guide draws on the CLAW (Liverpool Area Blood Bowl league) collective experiences from thousands of online and in-person games, as well as online resources, and community wisdom, bringing them together into one place that is (hopefully) accessible and useful. Whether you’ve been playing and learning as you go, or watching online streams and reading forums, this book is designed to help you make sense of it all and take the next step in your development.

Volume 1 is to help you bridge the gap between understanding the rules and understanding the game. This is aimed at players who already know the basics; how to move, block, and score, and know most of the core skills, but who want to start winning more often. Because let’s be honest: losing every game isn’t as much fun. Even small improvements in decision-making, positioning, and planning can combine to make a big difference in your results.

We focus on the core concepts that matter most for developing as a player: how to think about positioning, how to manage risk, how to build a team that works, and how to start seeing the game a few turns ahead. Whether you’re playing in a local league, online, or at your first tournament, this volume will give you the tools to start improving right away.
