Cyanide Announces Dungeonbowl
Cyanide has just sent out a press release announcing the imminent release of the Blood Bowl spinoff, Dungeonbowl. A few of our coaches might be familiar with the Dungeonbowl game which hasn’t seen an update since the second edition of the game. (Unless there has been some White Dwarf article I’m not aware of.) I know I’ve spoke to a few coaches who have been hoping to see an update to this unique property so I know you’ll be excited with the current news. Cyanide has already setup a website, Google+ group, and facebook group for the new property, though the website only contains a forum at the moment.
A copy of the press release has been included below.
Cyanide announces Dungeonbowl™ on PC.
Paris, April 10th 2012.
Cyanide is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Dungeonbowl™. This online only game is played with characters from Games Workshop’s® renowned Blood Bowl® world.
Dungeonbowl is the next exciting Blood Bowl experience, set in the fantasy American Football inspired game world already adapted as a video game by Cyanide. The key difference between Dungeonbowl and Blood Bowl as is rather obvious from the name, is that Dungeonbowl is played in a dangerous dungeon!
The wizards created the Dungeonbowl as they wanted to know which Magic College was the most powerful. The game introduces some subtle modifications to the standard Blood Bowl rules. A match is still played between two teams, but each side is composed of three races. For example, the roster of a Rainbow Wizards team contains Wood Elves, Halflings and Humans. The second difference is that the first team to score a touchdown wins the match. This task is made significantly more difficult by the fact that the ball is hidden in one of six treasure chests, five of which are booby-trapped with an explosive spell. Last, but by no means least, movement within the dungeon is both facilitated and complicated by teleporter pads. These allow players to magically zap from one position to another; a mishap, however, can lead to a player being zapped out of the match. As with Blood Bowl, the game is driven by dice and each player plays in turn.
Dungeonbowl continues Cyanide’s successful collaboration with Games Workshop and their rich and varied Blood Bowl world. The gameplay should therefore delight existing Blood Bowl fans as well as offer a gateway to this zany parody of Warhammer®and American Football for fans of tactical sports gaming.
Dungeonbowl is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2012 and will be available on the Windows PC.

Round 3 has ended, with one game to be played Thursday during round 4, postponed after a rain-out cancelled last Thursday’s game. The Underpants Gnomes rallied this week, soundly beating the Dark Elves of Naggarond Lighting. According to Lightning’s coach, what’s left of him anyway, the players have been sacked, sold off as hydra chow, and replaced which slaves who are very motivated to improve performance. This week’s match up pits Naggarond Lightning against Peanut Butter Jelly Time and The Plagueborn against Arbor Doom. The Underpants Gnomes will be celebrating their win with a week long feast of delicious Hydra-chow gumbo provided by the Naggarond “Feed the childrenz” society.
Another week of the season over and two more matches have been finished. First off the battle of the elves has ended in a stalemate in a 2-2 draw. In the other game of the week Peanut Butter Jelly Time wins against the Underpants Gnomes in a 2-1 victory that hasn’t come without cost, as Buckwheat was ejected form the boat-pitch in style… thrown overboard as chum, while Banana Man is out for the next game due to a broken neck. Truly the halflings treeman are vicous forces on the field not to be trifled with! This week’s matches have The Plagueborn vs. Peanut Butter Jelly Time, and The Underpants Gnomes against Naggarond Lightning. Good luck to all our teams this week!
Round 1 has ended and BASH congratulates Arbor Doom and The Plagueborn on their victories this season, tying up both teams for first place in league standings at 3 points each.
