Ah football, as in real football where the players kick the ball. It's no Blood Bowl but looks they have done well on their kickstart project.

An issue I see is the pitch without squares/hexagons.
That makes it more similar to a skirmish wargame than a board game, and more prone to human errors when moving the players/ball.

It can be any 3x3 space - with trees on the pitch, in a marketplace, in a stadium.

This actually looks kinda cool. I'd certainly be more tempted to pick this up than Elfball or Dreadball. And at only £1 for the rules I think I might do it right now :D

Personally, I think it looks great.

I'm trying the quick play rules on Saturday: http://www.guildball.com/Guildball_QPR_Public1.0.pdf

Free versions of the teams are available. Here's an example of the fisherman guild:

Yeah it's more a skirmish miniatures game than a boardgame and it looks very interesting for that.

I like skirmish games (played Necromunda and Gorkamorka), but for a fantasy sport game involving a ball I'd prefer a board with a grid: the pro is that's quicker to move stuff on it, the con is that a pitch with a grid allows less freedom of movement.
Thanks for the links btw!

i would have liked the video to talk a bit more about game mechanics....

Posted by pythrr on 2014-03-18 19:46:40

hmm, can you skill mens up?

The vid halfway down the page talks more about mechanics. It's a bit weird at first but I think I'd get used to it. It does say there are coming 'league rules' but due to the way he mentioned balancing teams and stuff I doubt there will be the skilling of mens.
