How to get your Young Miss into Blood Bowl...

Post by Babs »

Well, as some of you know, I have a 4YO little miss.

She often wants to 'be like daddy' and 'do what daddy does' - so I found a way:

And here's her kit after one use (along with a basic human figure she is painting):

... Not too dis-similar to this:

Anyway, back to little miss, and the final pony she's made (with some help, two part plastic) - and SHE asked for it to be on the 50mm base (she actually asked for me to glue it on!):

So - how do you get your kids into the hobby? I realise I'm pushing a barrel up a hill to expect her to Play Blood Bowl at 16...

I have a 4yo daughter and a 5yo son, and they'll both get indoctrinated eventually. It's probably too soon now, though. My older sons started playing around 13-14, though I think Mike Davies has had some luck with younger kids.

My daughter was playing a simplistic version where we lined the models from both teams against each other and rolled dice, the winner got to put their player into the dugout. She is 4 and made that up herself. Not much less complicated than lord of the rings.

Great to hear about others attempting it! ;) I woke up on Friday morning to the sound of rolling dice and "Yes, I won!" To discover my daughter rolling block dice and moving miniatures around the board from the demo game I had going the night before to teach some of my friends the game. :lol:
