Yeah me neither. In fact I've never played most of the 'classics.' Never played Dune, Cosmic Encounter, Ogre, Titan, Dungeon, Dungeonquest, Fortress America, Talisman (only played a couple of vassal games) and a whole host of others.
I just assumed other so steeped in games had played Blood Bowl. I used to own it, well half of it. My friend and I split it. I had a dwarf team and a chaos dwarf team. Man I never got the hang of the dwarves and always lost terribly with them. I did OK with my friend's chaos team though. Thanks to fumbbl you can try out all the teams you want without having to buy all the minis. Not that you really need the minis, but they help complete the experience.
