Block Mania is a Judge Dredd story that appeared in the British comic 2000 AD.

Story

The story opens with what seems to be a typical Block War, as seen in the previous Dredd stories. However, it soon becomes apparent that it isn't an isolated incident, but that conflagrations are breaking out amongst hundreds of City Blocks in Mega-City One. Eventually the conflict spread city-wide, where millions of citizens are involved in fighting. During the last episode of the series it becomes apparent that the outbreak has been engineered by East Meg One agent, Sov Judge Orlock. The story thus acts as a prologue to the next major storyline, Apocalypse War.

Game

In 1987 Games Workshop produced a board game based on the above story, and other stories that had featured Block Wars. The game simulated a Block War between two City Blocks, with each player trying to do unto the other player's Block before it was done unto them.

A supplement, Mega Mania was released, which increased the number of Blocks (and thus players) to four.
