These matches play out rather like traditional turn-based strategy games, allowing you to click on individual players and then move them around the pitch.

Once you’ve got the hang of the basics you can continue the single-player game by taking charge of the Reikland Reavers in a series of matches against computer-controlled teams. We don’t understand English football, let alone the US version, but Blood Bowl 2 kicks off with a (not-so) friendly match that acts as an introduction to the game. This sequel is really just more of the same, although it upgrades the game’s graphics considerably – which might be a problem for owners of Macs that don’t have a decent graphics card. The original Blood Bowl didn’t appear on the Mac (it appeared on iPad), but it took the monstrous races of the Warhammer games – ogres, orcs and other fantasy standards – and dropped them on to the field of an American football game.
