About the game

What you do in a play session

WarCraft: The Board Game brings all the excitement of the classic computer game to your table. Here, you take command of one of the four iconic factions — Humans, Orcs, Night Elves, or Undead — and engage in a strategic battle to gather resources, build villages, and lead your army to victory. The game uses a modular board, allowing you to set up the scenario differently each game, and a Command/Movement system that simulates the real-time action of the original game. During the game, you’ll manage resources like gold and lumber, build units and structures, and face your opponents in epic battles. Additionally, each faction has unique abilities and a deck of Experience Cards, which can be used for special effects during the game. Victory can be achieved by eliminating all opponents or accumulating 15 victory points. Perfect for strategy fans and Warcraft enthusiasts!
