Blitz Bowl Ultimate Second Edition Episode 2 Orks vs Dwarves

As I said in the previous video, discarding Challenge Cards applies only when cards are NOT CLAIMED. And cards are not refreshed immediately, only at the start of the opponents next turn.

2:38 Note: They changed the Frenzied ability in Ultimate Second Edition. Immediately was removed. That means that you can score a Challenge Card like Tie Them Up! with the Mark action, and then score another card like Take Them Down! with the following free Block action.

9:49 When the square where the ball bounces is obstructed by a wall or obstacle, you check the first valid square CLOCKWISE. That would have been #4 in this case, not #8.

21:16 She could have Sidestepped to claim either Spread Out! or Show 'Em How It Is Done!. After all Challenge Cards are the primary way of getting points, touchdowns only the secondary way.

24:32 "Once the last Challenge Card has been dealt out and becomes active, each team has one more turn". So you skipped your last turn. You could have claimed the Show Them How It's Done! as it should not have been discarded. That would not effect who wins though!

26:40 You stated that very well. 30 points behind and 4 minutes to go... Why would you play the game anymore? Now your game took about the same time as with 20 minute clock. But you discarded some extra cards when you should not. That is why I like the 10-point Sudden Death Victory rule, more MEANINGFUL Blitz Bowl! But yes, I heard you, you are not a fan of that particular rule. As you see from these two recent games, the 10-point lead is usually happening in the latter part of the game. Meaning that it is super rare, that the other team would have any change of coming back in those few turns they have left to play. For me the question is: Do I want to play turns of Blitz Bowl were the scores are tight and both players have a change to win, or do I want to play turns of Blitz Bowl where the game has been decided and one player cannot win even when scoring several cards and touchdowns. I would always choose the former. And I bet for MOST of the viewers the tight games are more interesting. It does not hurt showing some videos were the game ends with Sudden Death Victory, like 15 to 4. That is a part what Blitz Bowl is. It is also cool to see if a player can pull out a victory like that. It means that they have been playing well! I know you do you, as always, but please do consider posting games ending with a Sudden Death victory. I would love to see one! If one of you manages to pull that off, it is not an easy thing to do!

25:01 Two balls? Sure, scoring touchdowns is fun... Well, you must very well realise that this board is the grindiest of all 8 boards, and these two teams are the grindiest of all 23 official teams (and I would argue the custom teams included). So that results slowest scoring games possible. Just play with faster teams on this board, or play other boards with these two teams. I do not know if this most extreme slow-scoring combination is worth of changing the rules?
