Is Blitz Bowl Real?

Is Blitz Bowl Real? was created by jay718
I've been trying to track down a copy of this to play with my kid, and have had zero luck. The guy at Compleat Strategist looked at me like I was an idiot when I asked about it, and said "I think you mean BLOOD Bowl," pointing at the pile of Blood Bowl shit I was standing next to. The local Games Workshop store didn't seem to be aware of it's existence either when I asked about it, and it didn't even come up when they checked in their system. Where the hell can I find this thing? Does it even exist? Was it just part of a dream I had? What gives?

Try Barnes and Noble if you have one local. Seems like FLGS's aren't getting the initial run.

B&N all the way. If I'm not mistaken, you can order it now on their website.

As far as I can tell it is a B&N exclusive, at least for now. It is not even really marketed in the usual GW channels- GW stores have nothing to do with it at all and it’s not in distribution. No idea what they are going to do with it. Space Marine Adventures and that LOTR Mount Doom thing are also part of this weird arrangement.
Blitz Bowl is great. It is casual Blood Bowl. A few steps up from Battleball but short of Blood Bowl’s complexities.

Well that's bloody annoying. Was looking forward to this and now it seems it's not even slated for a UK release?!

I heard a rumor that Gamestop supposedly carries it. I haven't been in there for a couple months, so can't confirm that.

Sorry Bro. Checked the web. All BnN within 100 mile radius have it listed as not in stock.
Would have snagged you a copy if I could.

No joy here in Bloomington at B&N yesterday and of course I pick up this months White Dwarf today and there's a free card for a game I can't get!

Its showing up as available to order on BN.com right now. At least it let me add it to my cart. The same thing happened Sunday when I ordered my copy (use promo: 5OFF30NOW to get $5 off your order) but later Sunday it went back to unavailable.

Praise Nuffle.
Thank you. I searched high and low this weekend between the DreadBall tournament. Turns out, B&N on college campuses don't always have the most up to date inventory posted on line. So I checked both Georgetown and Catholic. Nothing.
This afternoon, Dr. Lao's tip scored me a copy. 40 bucks shipped.
WOOT WOOT

I was able to grab one at the B&N nearby. It hadn't even been put on the floor yet.
