Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Kerrunch, two players control teams of armored Orcs, Dwarfs, Humans, and Elves competing to score three touchdowns. Players take turns using action points to move their team on the field, aiming to get the ball into the opponent's end zone. After each touchdown, injured players are replaced before play resumes. The game ends when a team scores three touchdowns.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for two players aged 8 and up, Kerrunch suits fans of tactical fantasy sports games. As a medium-weight game with about 90 minutes playtime, it requires some strategic thinking but no extensive experience. It's accessible to younger players interested in tactical gameplay rather than a casual family game.
How It Works
Players alternate turns, starting with a coin toss, using action points to move their figures and maneuver the ball toward the opponent’s end zone. The use of action points dictates the number and type of moves per turn. After scoring a touchdown, the game pauses to replace injured players and reset teams to their zones before continuing.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Andy Jones, Kerrunch blends fantasy elements with sports within the Warhammer setting. It belongs to the Blood Bowl family and stands out as a two-player tactical fantasy sports game from 1991 with a dedicated fanbase.
