**** Reekie Rules ****
Auld Reekie is an unusual place to play Blood Bowl. Pollution and poverty, wealth and wisdom, democracy and derbies. The conditions of the city and the strangeness of the fans have some
impact on the rules affecting the game.
The usual Weather table will not be used: instead, Auld Reekie Weather will be in effect.
A special star player will also be available for all teams to hire, Murray Field.
Details of the weather table and the new star player can be found in the attached rules pack.
****Travel****
The venue shares a building with the Customs House museum. The entrance to the wargames area is on the East wall of the building, from the main entrance, walk to your right, follow round the corner, and the door is on the left.
The venue is 5 minutes walk from The Shore tram stop, along Bernard Street.
Alternatively the number 16 and 35 buses stop just outside the venue.
There is also on-road parking available in the area, which is usually free on Saturdays.
Detailed maps can again be found in the attached rulepack.

****AOB****
Chess clocks and timer apps may be used at the request of either player, but these will not be supplied by the organiser,
Blood Bowl can be a particularly emotional game and Nuffle is a fickle master, however at no point should this be an excuse to abuse your opponent (verbally or otherwise), or to interrupt or impact other games. Please enjoy your games in a friendly and adult manner.
Dice cups, trays and towers are not only permitted but encouraged.
If one of the two Coaches playing requests to share dice this should be allowed.
At the start of game Coaches facing off are encouraged to define for their game how to handle cocked dice and dice which escape from dice cups.
If any disagreements arise over rules or procedures either raise this with the organiser or feel free to roll a dice to decide who’s reading of the rules to go with.
