Such an amazing game ! The 2nd edition has provided as much balance for teams as was possible and game mechanics have been changed only slightly but to provide an unforgettable event with each play. - Crapuleux

Indredibly fun game. Tried both Classic board and Ultimate board. Some team abilities are worthless in Ultimate mode, but worth it anyway. Love this game, I need to play it more - AtomicFenix

A fantastic, quick (yet with depth), strategic sports game. Like a futuristic version of Lacrosse (or Quiditch without the flying!). Heaps of teams to try. More people need to try this. - MontyBell

Dreadball offers an incredible array of fun tactical choices that have clear strategic paths. On top of that, it's elegant, fast, and fun. - mkaup366

- Very fast game play and easy to learn rules. - Starting teams are easy to pickup but still competitive when played against add-on teams. - Plenty of replay value with just what is in the box. - GoldenGun

Blood Bowl dragged too long, was overpriced, and I always got beat (I could just never grasp a good strategy.) Dreadball is free-flowing and fast. The teams are nicely asymmetrical (if not all balanced,) and I enjoy the cyber-punk leaning setting. My favorite sports board game. - The Carmen

9.5/10
I like the faster paced, more basketball like play much better than blood bowl's football feel (and I like blood bowl a lot). Second edition cleaned up a lot of the rough edges in the game's initial iteration. Good, interesting variety in teams. - Zxqueb

Improves upon Blood Bowl with heaps of team options that somehow stay quite balanced overall, and mechanics that ensure the game doesn't become stale once you've mastered the core mechanics. A fantastic alternative well worth considering. - ArcticPangolin

A great little sports game, particularly for league play. Quick and simple to pick up, but with plenty of depth and masses of different teams and tactics to try. Does a great job of creating those magic moments where a player triumphs against the odds. - MrWill
