	Description Edit \| History

From the Publisher's site

Take on the role of a chivalrous paladin or a wise shaman, a holy priest or a vile warlock, a mighty mage or a crafty rogue. Play as a savage orc, a mighty tauren, a tribal troll, or one of the Forsaken undead; become an ingenious gnome, a doughty dwarf, a mysterious Night Elf, or a noble human.

Based on the popular World of Warcraft Massively Multiplayer Online Game from Blizzard Entertainment, World of Warcraft: the Board Game invites the players to choose from 16 characters, drawn from the eight races and nine character classes of the Warcraft universe, and take up arms for the glory of the Horde ... or the Alliance. Travel across Lordaeron, vanquish monsters, gain experience and power, and earn honor for your faction.

World of Warcraft: the Board Game is a team-based fantasy adventure. The Horde and the Alliance factions must compete to be the first to defeat the invincible Overlord – be it the lich-king Kel'Thuzad, the dragon Nefarian, or the demon Kazzak – or, failing that, to be the last faction standing when it comes to all-out war!

Enlarged Combat Area for WoWtBG

This is an enlarged (it fills 10"x7.5") combat area that provides enough room for all of the counters that you'll be tossing around in some of the late-game and final boss battles.

WOW: Shortcut Variant (V1.0)

This is a "shortcut" variant of the base game or the base game plus expansions. It tries to deal with the well-known issue of the toooo long game duration, effectively cutting down playing time to about 60% (2-4 hours). All original rules are still in effect, but there is a different setup that lets characters jump right into the mid-/endgame action...

Competitive Variant for 2 or 3 Players (V1.1)

A variant for 2 or 3 players seeking a competitive challenge - each player "quests" on his/her own (with the occasional help of a "neutral" mercenary), and one player will eventually emerge as THE individual winner. Plays quicker than the original game with all the expansions (about 3-4 hours with 2 players, 4-6 hours with 3 players).
