Small World of WarCraft Board Game I have recently found myself looking for new games to play with my friends once I can safely invite them to my house again, but since it’s only two in my household, I wanted a game that was just as fun for two people as it is for five. Small World of WarCraft is very fun for two people. If you’re like me and can’t conquer the TV in your living room, you’ll get a kick when you conquer all the regions in Small World of WarCraft. I was very intrigued by Small World of WarCraft—not only does that game look amazing, but if you are a Small World fan, and a WarCraft fan, be ready to have your mind blown. The game rules are all the same as Small World—pick your race, conquer regions, and redeploy for defense—but with a twist, the theme is World of WarCraft, so the races are orcs, gnomes, humans, you get the idea. All the pieces are sturdy, and colorful—plus the game play is fantastic! Get ready for a mano-a-mano. Get tactical, get your races ready, think ahead, and start attacking regions. The person with the most victory tokens in the end wins. Unlike the static, single island board of Small World, this World of Warcraft variant features several double-sided islands on which you will be waging war. This setup makes the game more fun, adding a little variety to the board. One of my favorite parts—and how the game begins—is picking your trait and race. If you get a good one, you’ll start controlling regions, and collecting victory points. But, if your race goes in to decline—good news, you can pick another race to play with. At the end of every turn, after you’ve placed your tokens, claimed regions, and rearranged your tokens, you collect a victory point for every region that you own. But don’t get too attached to those regions, because the next player can take it all away. Small World of WarCraft is a fun twist on a very much-loved game. The game is for 2-5 players, recommended ages 10 and up, and will take about 40-80 minutes. It’s exciting to see the WarCraft races in the game. Play it with the entire family or challenge your sibling—winner gets the TV for a day. For more information visit: www.daysofwonder.com/small-world-of-warcraft/en/
