What this is
Orcs, elves, and other creatures battle it out in games of American football. The game truly shines in a League format, where players gain experience and learn new skills as they play. And as a great benefit to teams feeling the need to start over after a first bad game, the Journeyman system ensures they will always have 11 players on the field.
