Fantasyfootball is a genre of board game or wargame which normally involves two teams of fantasy races such as elves, dwarves or orcs competing in an extremely violent variant of American football . Violent future sports such as Rollerball 1975 film Rollerball may also be classified as fantasyfootball. However, this is less likely. Often the only resemblance to American football for many fantasyfootball games is to get the ball into an end zone or goal, but these games still fall under the fantasyfootball genre. The most famous of fantasyfootball games is Games Workshop s Blood Bowl . Other examples include Elfball and Deathball, both available to download for free from the manufacturers websites.

Fantasy Comic fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy that is primarily humorous in intent and tone. Usually set in imaginary worlds, comic fantasy often includes puns on and parodies of other works of fantasy. It is sometimes known as Low fantasy in contrast to High fantasy , which is primarily serious in intent and tone. The term Low Fantasy is used to represent other types of fantasy, however, so while comic fantasies may also correctly be classified as low fantasy, many examples of low fantasy are not comic in nature. History The subgenre rose in the nineteenth century.
