I had never played the previous games or even the board game before, but with some knowledge of the Warhammer universe, and being quite the Dungeons and Dragons player, I was ready to try out this fantasy football game. Well, after seeing the “true” Blood Bowl experience, I was left frustrated, bored, and completely done with the game.
Games Workshops' Blood Bowl debuted in 1986, and since has seen numerous updates, re-releases and video game spin-offs.

KeenGamer: "These are 5 tactical games you should be playing, even if you hate the genre. The tactical genre has had some great games released the last few years, and these games offer something a bit more than just rewarding and tactical gameplay. Whether that’s unique settings, great stories, or interesting gameplay, there is bound to be something here that catches your eye."
Completely off the mark, games listed don't entice non-tactical gamers to enjoy them.
Games with good story and free movement outside of combat are the tactical games that entice players that don't usually like tactical games. Games like Wasteland 3, and Mutant Year Zero can really entice you into the tactical play games. As well hard tactical games like Gears Tactics which has a great story. Or non-stereotypical tactical games like The Bureau: XCOM Declassified.
I used to hate tactical games and have learned to love them because of the right game to play.
Valkyria chronicle is the only one on that list I somewhat like for being different and I hate Tactical games. Those aren't convincing anyone to play though. My biggest issue with them is that they're all just combat. If you want to get into them or play something with tactical elements that can get you into it. South Park Fractured but whole, Trails of Cold Steel/trails in the sky, or games that give elements, Then play the games more and more like them, then actual ones. I actually don't mind it for a combat system. But absolutely hate how the whole gameplay is exactly that most of the time. I'm not going to play a game that's basically all just combat. It's like turn based RPGs, they're great because the gameplay loop isn't just turn based combat. That's why Trails can use a system with elements and still be so great to people who hate that stuff
