Text from the Box: Epic Legends Forged Daily Long ago, the sorcerer Medivh opened a portal to another world. Through this dark gateway came the Horde - armies of orcs and ogres driven by a simple purpose: war. Since then, the land of Azeroth has not known peace. The Alliance of humans, dwarves, and elves fought two wars against the Horde, then both were nearly destroyed by the arival of the undead Scourge and the demonic Burning Legion. Now, the land is imperiled by undead, demons, beasts, and brigands. For those bold enough to adventure, the dangers are great... but so are the opportunities!

A wide variety of discoveries, events, and location make every game unique and immersive. Only one hero can be the greatest adventurer in Azeroth!

Bit of a disappointment here, not what I had expected. The game comes across as rather bland.

bigcheese rated: N/A/10

How does this compare to Talisman & Prophecy? Now available from http://www.gameslore.co.uk/. Must read downloaded rules.

rvinyard rated: N/A/10

One of those games that piqued my interest, but before I trade I really need to look it over again and see if it's really something I want.

massimiliano.san rated: N/A/10

This one looks actually pretty interesting. It's a different scope than the WoW:tbg, so hopefully a good complement.

game_boy rated: N/A/10

Having read a lot of the promotional material, this seems very similar to Runebound. How similar is hard to nail down, given that Runebound is more of a system than a game, i.e. it can play very differently according to which expansion(s) you are using.
