I sent that question directly to Cyanide and there is no chance for Blood Bowl to be ported for Mac. Sorry. :cry:

Best Regards.

You can always get your BB fix at fumbbl.com.

The new Fantasy Football client is great, even if it is still in beta.

I do so via Parallels - it's now pretty much the only reason that I run Windows within my Mac at all.

Windows cleverly tells me that I have unused icons on my desktop, which consists of a shortcut to the Parallels sharing folder, the recycle bin, and a BB shortcut. Unused indeed!

You can play on an Intel Mac by using BootCamp to boot into Windows. You'll need a copy of windows, obviously. I used to play on my iMac and Mac Book Pro quite a bit.

But normally you don´t want to have a copy of Windows on your Mac. I would only do it, if I really needed it for work. Never for a game.

but few games are developped for mac, so hard-core gamers who really like specific games end up being forced to do it.

It's on a whole other partition - if you just want to play some games you won't even notice it's there when you are in OS X. Honestly, it's the best of both worlds.

I heard that Windows installation under Bootcamp works great with BB.

It does - I use it all the time. I have Windows 7 installed and I haven't had any major problems so far.
