  • Blood Bowl: Team Manager – the Card Game Includes Several Staff Upgrade Cards That Represent Expensive, Non-Essential Staff Positions
    FAQ General Q: Some game text refers to a manager’s roster. What is a roster? A: A manager’s roster includes all Player cards that belong to that manager’s team, including cards at matchups, in his Team deck, in his discard pile, and in his hand. (When resolving the FREEBOOTER ability, the player may choose to return a card from his hand to the game box, but he is not required to reshuffle cards in hand into his deck.) Player cards in the improvement pile are not part of the roster until added to the Team deck during the “Reveal Improvement Pile” step. FAQ Version 1.0 – February 10, 2011 Q: During a round, is a manager required to commit all players from his hand? Errata A: No. Page 9 of the rulebook reads “If a manager does not wish to (or cannot) commit a Player card, he must pass. A manager who passes Rigorous Training Card cannot commit any more players or resolve matchup actions for the remainder of the Matchup phase. He may also discard any Player cards The Grudgebearers’ team upgrade “Rigorous Training” should read: that he does not wish to keep for next round.” “Response: Each time 1 of your players with the GUARD ability becomes downed, draw 1 card from your Team deck and then choose 1 This permits a manager to pass early in a round (without committing all card to discard from your hand.” players in his hand), discard any players he does not want to keep for the next week, and then replenish his hand up to six players during the next Rulebook (page 5) Maintenance phase.

    ABOUT PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting further from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. OTHER IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION The Xbox video game system documentation contains important safety and health information that you should read and understand before using this software. AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TELEVISION Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them.
