My wife and I were avid players of World of Warcraft the Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (I’m so glad they came up with an acronym for that one). We used to play often with our friends online. However, after a few months we ended up getting bored. The game offered tons to do, but it just didn’t provide the right kind of things to do to keep us interested.

However, after a few more months, I decided I wanted to try the board game. Again, we loved the MMORPG, however, we got bored with it. But we also love board games. So we figured the two put together would be a wonderful addition to our collection of board games.

So, a few months ago I purchased World of Warcraft the Board Game. I wanted to try it out. About 3 days later it showed up at our door. I hurriedly tore through the packaging and got to the 9 pound box. 9 pounds! That’s a lot of stuff. I opened the box and beheld the exquisitely crafted playing pieces, the beautiful map drawn on the board, the artistic cards, and the huge rulebook.

Over the course of a week I spent time reading and rereading the rulebook. I wanted to know exactly how the game worked and how it compared to the MMORPG. The rules were great. It fit the player versus player aspect of the MMORPG very well and made for an extremely strategic experience. I’m a fan of strategy so this game would work out nicely.

After reading the manual, my 7-year-old-daughter (Nicole) and I took a few hours one day to organize the game. See, she had watched us play the computer version so often that she was just as thrilled to try the board game as I was. And since the game allowed for teams in which one parent could be against the other parent and our daughter, it made it so a 7-year-old could play because she’d have help from her teammate.

We carefully pushed out all of the cardboard pieces and placed them in little zip top plastic bags. We separated them by categories. We even placed each character and all pieces required for the characters into separate bags. This made it easy to grab what was needed for each character chosen to play with in the game. Since I had read the rules it was easy to categorize the pieces into each bag.

About 2 days later, we pulled out the game and sat down to set it up to play it. It took a little while but soon, because of the work my daughter and I put into it, it was ready to play. So we began. About 30 minutes into it, our daughter was asleep.

After my wife and I finished playing the game, we decided it just wasn’t a game for us because there’s no one out here to play it with. So the lucky purchaser of this game gets a game that has only been played once. They also get hours of setup already done by myself and my daughter including all of the plastic bags and the organization.

I really hope this game finds a good home. It is a great game that brought my wife and me some enjoyment and a laugh over our daughter falling asleep. If the buyer has young children, they may get a chance for that laugh also. If not, they’re getting a well organized and fun game to play.
