	Description Edit \| History

Global football has moved beyond the restrictive rules of the US Football League. Physical enhancements have made the sport more intense and more deadly. Players have developed distinctive skills to overpower enemy players. Some are fast. Some are strong. All are out to eliminate their opponents.

Plan your strategy to get safely into the end zone. Your opponent will do everything he can to destroy your players and take possession of the ball. Can you overpower them and score a touchdown? Score two touchdowns and you'll be the Battleball champ!

Battleball Replacement Football Die Image (half inch sides)

Lots of people seem to lose the football die. This image is 6 facings (low res) intended to be adhered to a regular die, hopefully in brown. A regular die can be used normally, however this allows you to keep track of which is the football die easier.
