World of Warcraft: The Board Game


 * Were you looking for the very similar World of Warcraft: The Adventure Game?

World of Warcraft: The Board Game is a board game based on World of Warcraft. The game was developed by Fantasy Flight Games and released in 2005. It is not to be confused with the earlier Warcraft: The Board Game released in 2003 or the World of Warcraft: The Adventure Game released in 2008 (also developed by Fantasy Flight Games).

In World of Warcraft: The Board Game, players take the roles of various characters such as hunters or warlocks of either the Alliance or Horde faction. The object of the game is to defeat a powerful Overlord. The game is timed to thirty turns; at the end of that time, if the Overlord has not been defeated, the game is settled by a massive player versus player battle between the two factions. Unlike most games of this type, play is (usually) cooperative between the members of each faction.

"Shadow of War", the expansion for the board game was released in late 2006. It added new talents, powers, Blue Quests, Destiny cards, and nearly 200 new item cards.

The second expansion for the board game is The Burning Crusade, which was released in September 2007. It added new monsters, Outland, dungeons, flying mount, level 6 (the max level before was 5), new powers and talents for level 6, new quests, new overlords and a few new event cards.
