I am honestly surprised none of you guys played World of Warcraft back in the day! Lol I was excited to see this as the theme, because we no longer play WoW but it holds a sweet spot for us. Thanks for the reviews.

The game will be super easy for WoW fans to get into. And it's a very decent Pandemic game overall, very well done. I'm glad Dice Tower guys liked it.

Roy, perfect quote for the end of the video!

Got the game a few weeks ago, and I do agree with the 8.5 score, it's a very solid pandemic-style game. But I will address two points:

1 - Replayability: the game does lack some of it because you always know your end-goal from the start; you might get different quests, different characters, but in the end you will be going to Icecrown to face Lich King, there is no other type of victory. HOWEVER, after more than 10 games of this at Heroic difficulty, the cards that you get might deeply impact the game, making two games with exactly same characters and quests feel completely different. So while it's not a game to play every single day, I do think it's one that has enough in it for several playthroughs with buddies, and for a strong replayability if you really love the theme.

2 - Strategy: the game might seem simple but at Heroic difficulty it does slap you hard if you do not plan things. While it might seem "just go there for quest and kill monsters on the way", at higher difficulty it might not be in your best interest to go straight for a quest zone, because you need to clean up some monsters before, or risk getting a bad draw that will put the board under strain. It is more straightforward than most Pandemic-style games, but if no thought is made you will lose hard.

So good to see such a high score for a Warcraft game. Good job Z-MAN!

Agreed with the picture of the mini being useful. One of the first things I do with any game that has minis is identify what each mini is and write who / what it is on the bottom of the base so it's easier for others. Also when I paint them I stick to whatever scheme is depicted on character cards to make it even easier to identify them.

A Defenders of the Realm comparison seems like it would have been relevant too?

I am a giant WoW fan from back in the day. Can’t wait to get this to the table and camera.

yeah i got it this week to join my solo game collection

it's solid like you say... pandemic games aren't ever really on the top of my list but they're fun enough for me to play, it'll be a game that i pull out every other month and do a couple of runs

then put it back again

it's not a game that would ever become a main go to all the time i think

After watching them live play this I fell in love with it and pre-ordered it immediately. However I didn't get the vibe that the guys were having fun. Was very surprised at the gushing reviews, especially from Zee. Very happy to hear it!

I'm very excited to play this one having played world of warcraft on PC for years. Talk about it being a welcoming game, I traditionally do no like the pandemic games, but this theme has me giving the system another chance.
