Is there an Icehockey-themed Tabletop/boardgame?
« on: 25 September 2010, 07:14:35 PM »
Heisan,

with having some weird ideas spinning around my head I was wondering if there's any Icehockey-boardgame, similar to BloodBowl, out there?
Oh, and of course Minis?

Cheers

Back from the dead, almost.

Saw this toy set at Michigan Toy Soldier (US). Almost bought it myself.

You may be able to modify http://www.tabletop-sports.com/modules.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=837 Pairadice Hockey or http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2383/blue-line-hockey

Never tried it as I'm not into the sports games but quite like the idea as my father used to play as a lad and explained how violent (sorry hard contact) it could get  :o

Interesting I don't know of any personally, but if you find one, let me know if you can  :)

I don't know where this is going Comsquare, but I've got a feeling that it is going to be a lot of fun! :D

I wrote some rules, but lacking figures I didn't even play test the game that much at all.

Thanx for helping to all.

@ SteveF
Did you ever saw the Brigade minis?
They don't have pics of them on their page.

@ Schogun:
Will think about the minis, maybe they are a good starting point ;)
Depends on shipping costs to norway.

@ AndrewBeasley
Will check the rules, maybe they are another startingpoint too

@ adhorsen950
I'll let you know ;)

@ VoodooInk
Are you familiar with an Comic called "Alexander Nikopol" from Enki Bilal?
They made also a movie about it, called "Immortal".

In the comic they're watching a "more" brutal version of icehockey.
That's the main inspiration.

As soon as I manage to scan some pics I'll show them to you.

Oh, and nearby, reading right now through your rules and like them, hope to run some game soon :D
I'll let you know

@ Sheerluck Holmes
Would love to get a copy of your rules to playtest them :)
Would be a great help

I'm afraid not - just noticed they were there last time I was on the Brigade site.

Is it anything like this?



Which reminds me... someone needs to remake Mutant League Football! :D
