Teams, Dice, Boards and More Get Released For Slaughterball
October 27, 2016 by dracs
The game of Slaughterball has just seen a massive release as the various expansion teams and boards hit the shelves of Frog the What Games.
Meet The Teams
First up among the new releases we have four new teams to bring out onto the pitch.
Team Fury are a genetically engineered team of human / tiger hybrids, whose talons allow them to tear through the opponents and, occasionally the ball.
The Gruesomes are everything you'd expect from a team of Frankensteinian creations; slow,clumsy, but the toughest thing on the tabletop.
The Katanas epitomise the focus on martial skill of the samurai they resemble, mixing speed and combat prowess to let them run across the pitch and deal multiple hits.
The Legion focus on discipline and feature a large selection of skills to draw upon. This makes them very effective, but may need a more experienced player to utilise them to their fullest.
Each of these expansion set teams comes with 12 plastic figures, as well as a double sided reference card with all their traits and skills.
Step Onto The Pitch
Along with the new teams, every team now has their own home arena pitch to play upon. This means eight new arenas for the game to take place on.
Each of these boards features unique rules and architecture that you must take into account when planning your strategies.
For example, the Carnage team home arena has spikes for you to push your opponents onto.
Roll For Your Team
As well as these expansions, Frog the What have released team coloured dice packs and dice bags to let you show your allegiance.
Finally, Frog the What have also come out with a dry erase scoreboard to help you keep track of the game's goings on.
All of these releases will help to add new twists and turns to the game. I especially like the addition of the home arenas as they each provide you with unique challenges to overcome.

Favourite team? From the new ones I’d have to barrack for the Gruesomes… just because the butcher looks like he could send players to the injury box just by sitting on them. From all the teams though, definitely the Valkyries – no doubt!
Thanks for the article, Sam!
love the vibrant colours the figures come in more games should come like that.
Thanks, zorg! My favorite color is the purple for team Legion. It’s really nice, and the sculpt for the Legion butcher athlete is probably my favorite thing out of all the expansions. But the lime green for team Gruesomes is also great.
Those are rather good.
