The document outlines the rules for the Blood Bowl board game, including weather effects, player actions, and injury tables.

There are different weather conditions like sweltering heat, very sunny, pouring rain, and blizzard that apply modifiers to players' abilities. Perfect conditions have no effect.

Players can perform actions like moving, passing, handing off the ball, blocking, fouling, and using skills. They can only perform one action per turn.
