World of Warcraft (board game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

World of Warcraft: The Board Game is an adventure board game based on the the popular World of Warcraft MMORPG. The game was designed and published by Fantasy Flight Games (publishers of other popular games such as Doom: The Board Game and Descent: Journeys in the Dark).

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.
