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 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! —description from the publisher

Shattered Kingdom ... features hundreds of new cards, both expanding the original game and introducing a few new concepts. A new item deck rewards characters with exciting trinkets and artifacts. A new quest deck puts a bounty on independent creatures, rewarding characters who defeat them. Each class deck also receives 10 new powers and 10 new talents, further developing each character's arsenal of unique abilities and customization. Each Overlord also receives special cards that are shuffled into the event deck, and these cards make them even more dangerous throughout the game.

Beyond the Dark Portal lies a broken land of adventure, mystery, and unfathomable peril. The once beauteous world of Draenor has been destroyed by the plotting of the orc shaman Ner'zhul – only Outland, a scarred and broken continent adrift in the Twisting Nether, remains. Return to your ancestral homeland as a proud warrior of the Horde, or search for the heroic survivors of the Second War as a noble soldier of the Alliance. Take your World of Warcraft: the Board Game experience to new heights of power and depths of peril with The Burning Crusade Expansion. Play as a Draenei shaman or a Blood Elf paladin. Unlock new powers and talents as you rise to level six. Challenge new Overlords, battle new monsters, purchase a flying mount, and venture into dangerous dungeons in both Azeroth and Outland. Dozens of detailed plastic figures, with new monsters and new heroes. Based on the fastest-selling computer game expansion of all time. New game board, new Heroes, new monsters, new quests, new items, new powers, new rules, dungeons, flying mounts, Outland, and more! Expands: World of Warcraft: The Boardgame

My son played this game at BlizzCon. He *loved* it. He kept asking if we could get a copy

looking forward to this game a lot, but not sure if i'll ever find a table big enough for it, i mean arkham horror already fills my table up and this game box is twice that size!

I will buy this game since I'm a sucker for all FFG releases. The components look great and I'll be using them for other games as well.

I own this. I want to play this. However, when I've taken it out, I get horrified looks by my friends, and then I put it back in the box. I played it solo. It was fun. Maybe I'll try to pick up WoW: The Adventure Game 🙂

First impressions: 200 miniatures on a board the size of a postage stamp. Looks like FF should have taken a tip from Eagle Games and made the board a LOT bigger. I'm a fan of the Computer games, but I think that this will fall far short of providing the same experience.

Why do all of FFG's new games take 4 hours to play? I'd be interested in this if it were a 2 hour game.
