Welcome, once more, to the prestigious pages of the Old World’s favourite sports periodical. Join us as we embrace the new surge of fanaticism for Blood Bowl Sevens, the smaller and faster – but no less brutal or entertaining – sibling of Blood Bowl! Buckle up, readers – it’s time for more Blood Bowl, more often.

Half the Size, ALL of the Game

Guest editor Orphadius Potts explores the history and intricacies of the Blood Bowl Sevens format in this Spike! Journal. You’ll find tips and (dirty) tricks from top Coaches, as well as the usual entertaining editorials you’ve come to know and love.

Inside this 32-page softcover magazine, you'll find:

• Blood Bowl Sevens: The History: A deep dive into the Sevens format, including its origins, initial reception, and The Super Sevens Showdown!
• The Rules: Learn how the pitch differs from the standard game, how to draft a team, the differences in game play, as well as rules for League Play and Matched Play.
• Dirt from the Dugout: Mindy Piewhistle returns from her ‘educational’ time within the academy district of Nuln, having learnt some interesting news about wage corruption.
• Chat with the Rat: Hackspit ‘the Scribbler’ Quillchewer sits down for a rare interview with Strommni, Priest of Nuffle, to talk about how Sevens is an affront to Nuffle and his holy word.
• Pro Playbook – Sevens Special: We've approached some of the finest minds in Blood Bowl Sevens to pick their brains for tips and tricks about the format. They dish about how to start, what tactics to employ, and how to develop teams for Matched and League Play.
• Ask Lord Borak: Is the game of Blood Bowl your only escape from the overwhelming misery of your feeble existence? Are the Dark Gods on your case? Or are you exhausted by the excitement of 24/8 Blood Bowl? Then talk to Lord Borak, the murderous tyrant who listens.
• Coffin Corner: We remember those players that are no longer with us – because they were torn apart by a dissatisfied crowd, tried a back-alley enchantment tonic, or bragged about how they’re better than most of their first team!

You'll need a copy of Blood Bowl: The Official Rulebook – Third Season Edition!, available separately, to make full use of this magazine.
