About this game

Small World of Warcraft squeezes the Alliance-versus-Horde conflict of Azeroth into the classic Small World formula, and it fits disturbingly well. Pick a wild combination like Portal Mage Pandarens or Herbalist Goblins, then sprawl your forces across a map that is always one race too small for everybody. Every empire eventually overextends, so you'll need to put a struggling race into decline and launch a fresh one without losing your grip on the board. Legendary terrains and artifacts add just enough spice, and Warcraft fans will grin at nearly every faction combo on offer.
