IGBB 7's - XAV SAY’S '25

About this experience

Iblitzer Bender ’24 -  Xav says…

 

 

Round 2 of our 5 game series at IGBB 

 

Xav says that Blood Bowl is in fact a rational game of chance and  to win the game efficiently and with minimal chance of failure all onee must do is apply a  statistical approach. El Commish says that Xav is a liar….. Lets see whose right?!

 

To this end our coaches will find themselves in possession of a mere sliver of Xav’s wisdom in the shape of a FREE REROLL with absolutely no strings attached at all. Really. We mean it…… You can use this RR once per game on any dice you can usually use a RR on that requires a D6, EXCEPT you must need a 6 for it to succeed. You didn’t think we’d make it that easy did you?
