World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
Team up as Warcraft heroes and hold the Lich King's undead back.
Who it's for
Warcraft fans or Pandemic players who want a fantasy version with fights. Good for three people around a table.
Not for you if…
You do not know or care about the Warcraft setting, or dislike one player taking over the plan. The pace is brisk and the threats keep coming.
Vibe's take
A stream of rising threats you must triage together, with dice making the fights swingy. It feels like a raid party arguing about who goes where.
About this game
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King sends you to frozen Northrend to hold off the Lich King's undead armies, using a tweaked Pandemic-style system. You team up as heroes from Azeroth such as Thrall, Varian Wrynn, and Sylvanas Windrunner, each with their own abilities for use in and out of combat. You travel between forts, temples, and battlegrounds, set up strongholds, complete quests, and roll dice to battle legions that spread across the board as the Scourge grows. Cooperative, with trading, action points, and hand management. It plays one to five, about an hour, and rewards players who already know the lore.
