Hi all, I’m trying to convince a friend to try out BloodBowl. He currently refound his love for HeroQuest. Any tips on videos or website links to send him?

Angry Joe did one of the best explanations of the game when BB1 came out... (really???) 14 years ago https://youtu.be/hZBkFmIQtPo?t=61

For serious advices more information is needed.

Do you just play on fumbbl? Do you play the board game? Does he play tabletop games or just board (classic) games?

If you own two teams for the board game version:
Make a introduction match, show him the basics, play lightwight - this is always the best start playing Blood Bowl.

What? He lives a 500 kilometers away?
Classic introduction video-series on YT here:

Uhhmm... he's only interested in digital stuff?
Send him a YT "what is" video for the current video game here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmqHjyd1M_U&ab_channel=cKnoor

Then invite him to fumbbl and play a test just here.

What? You would never have thought of it?
What you're doing here for nearly 20 years?

Hello

Provide your friends with some interesting content to entice people to try blood bowl. Look for videos of gaming on YouTube; such as  blood bowl gameplay. More details can be found on websites such as the official games workshop page and blood bowl wiki. These materials will show the enjoyment and depth of strategy of the game. Cool

Why not just play HeroQuest w/ him? It's great fun! The new Zargon app makes things much more convenient & there are loads of new heroes to choose as well as new game play. I recently got my niece & nephew into it, but my nephew already plays BB.

While you play HQ look to find similarities in the games to entice him such as it takes around the same time to play both games or that both games use a 'block' dice rolling system for attacks.
