For example, in chess both players play with the same pieces, but in Blood Bowl, almost 30 different teams (e.g. orcs, elves, etc) are available to choose from, each team with different skills that require different playing styles. Blood Bowl is a board game that can be summarized as “fantasy-chess-with-dice”, but this would hardly do the game justice.

In this post we’ll graph the numbers from the Blood Bowl Fantasy football game, and see what patterns emerge.

“If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge” is one of my favorite movie quotes (from Darren Aronofsky’s cult movie about mathematics \(\pi\) (“pi”)).
