	Description Edit \| History

The computer classic comes to your table. From the publishers:

"Fantasy Flight Games and Blizzard Entertainment present the official Warcraft boardgame, where players take command of an army of Night Elves, Humans, Orcs, or Undead seeking to harvest gold and wood, build a strong village, and set out to conquer and destroy! The Warcraft boardgame features an adaptable/expandable geomorphic board, exciting components, and the innovative ‘Command/Movement’ system that simulates the real-time action and excitement of Warcraft."

J. Yoshi's Custom Rules for Warcraft the Board game v2.4.1

By popular request, house rules and heroes/units designed by Jay T. Leone. Meant to be used as an add-on to Warcraft the board game (along with its expansion). I take no credit for the illustrations depicted in these files. I will post up pictures of how the custom game looks in the near future. The files are stored in .zip format and may be read in .doc format. Feedback is certainly welcome! This is a project I've been working on (off and on) for the past few years. Hope you enjoy it!
