In this episode, our guest commentator is none other than Matthew from Players to Nuffle.

We discuss the way to travel to Blood Bowl tournaments and why a road trip has a special place in both his and our hearts.

We also look at one of our own road trips - the Sunny Coast Slam - with three special snippets from that road trip.

We discuss the state of competitive Blood Bowl - is the 2-1 grind out win the best way to win in Blood Bowl?

We also have a quiz - "It's a Numbers Game" - especially prepared by Millsy.
