World of Warcraft outside your PC!

Can't get enough of World of Warcraft(WOW)? Do you still feel the need to play even after 4+ hours of WOW, but your computer just breathed it last from overuse? Well you have several options available!

The World of Warcraft Board Game!
Designed and published by Fantasy Flight Games (also known for DOOM: The Board Game and Descent: Journeys in the Dark), World of Warcraft: The Board Game is your very first option and was also the first out-of-game product of WOW. The game was designed to be played by 2-6 players who are willing to devote 4 hours of fantasy gaming! 4 hours! At least your eyes won't be stressed to the point of exhaustion! The board game lets player choose from all the classes, races, and your faction available in the actual game to explore the continent of Lordaeron, where you could explore, gain items, and level up your hero - on a smaller scale of course.

The players are represented by miniatures included with board game, as well as supporting cards and tokens to represent items, abilities and other game elements. The ultimate goal of the game is to defeat a powerful "Overlord".

But if you're not able to find an Overlord, the players can always opt to fight the opposing faction to determine the winner. Being a premium game, it doesn't come cheap priced at $79.95, about P3600. Another downside of the board game is that the time it takes to play can start to drag especially if you're not enjoying the game but can't do much if your friends still want to continue! The board game also has two expansions to date: Shadow of War and The Burning Crusade - adding quests, 2 new races, dungeons, as well as the Outlands sub-continent!




The World of Warcraft Trading Card Game (WOW TCG)!
Not into board games nor the exhausting time it takes to finish one? Do you favor quick battles but still love WOW? Then the WOW TCG may be the option for you! Brought to you by Upper Deck, the WOW TCG has mechanics quite similar to TCG's available in the market. You have Creature card, items, abilities, a graveyard, and the while lot! The whole game process can take forever to post so I've included the demo from UpperDeck's site:



But if you don't want to watch the video, you can read the rulebook here. Please take note that it is a PDF file.

The World of Warcraft Miniatures Game!

So you not into cards but still looking for tangible action to whet your WOW craving? Also from Upper Deck is the WOW miniatures game! I'm not sure about the gameplay details yet, but I have the feeling that it would something like Heroclix by WizKids with dice rolling nd mybe some modifier cards to supplement the minis.
