If you’re reading this, you probably love sports. You've also probably wondered what would happen if you were the one calling the shots…

In DreadBall: All-Stars, you’ll coach a team of all-star players in explosive 60-minute matches, packed with tactics, chaos, and glory.

Set in a sci-fi future where mega-corporations sponsor violent sports entertainment across the galaxy, All-Stars represents the sports' crowning achievement and the biggest contest in the galaxy. In All-Stars, fast-paced action meets high-impact slams, end-to-end scoring, and risky, amazing plays, for the kind of event you'll be talking about for days.

Jervis Johnson Reimagines DreadBall

DreadBall: All-Stars is designed by Blood Bowl creator Jervis Johnson, veteran designer Alessio Cavatore, and acclaimed artist Stefan Kopinski, marking a new era for the series.

"I've always loved designing sports games, and with DreadBall: All-Stars, I've created a board game where the action is fast-paced and non-stop," says Jervis Johnson. "If Blood Bowl is like American Football, then All-Stars is like a full-contact version of NBA Basketball, with lots of opportunities to score, and just as many opportunities to flatten the opposition!"

How DreadBall: All-Stars Changes the Game

Unlike traditional miniature sports games that require extensive team-building and long sessions, DreadBall: All-Stars features pre-assembled miniatures, streamlined rules, and fixed team rosters, designed to get you straight into the action.

"All-Stars is a completely new experience set in the DreadBall universe, rebuilt from the ground up," says Mantic Games CEO Ronnie Renton. "This isn't the DreadBall you may remember; Jervis has created a stand-alone game that takes everything players loved about the series and removes the barriers. The result is a game that captures the thrill of fantasy sports, designed to be enjoyed by new and existing players.”
