Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 8 out of 10

    Pandemic, but with a lot of additional flavor. The game itself is quite garish - a LOT of stuff happening on the board made it a bit difficult to visually digest, but all-in-all, a host of tough decisions made this quite memorable.

    It’s just Ok and doesn’t live up to the price. Maybe at $30 if you love the them. Pandemic lovers it’s just meh. It has everything you’ve seen before. The quests are from legacy season 1, the ghouls from Cthulhu. It can be tough at higher difficulty but it really suffers from sameness. The quests are all the same, the fighting is the same as quests, and so is the healing. Every action is pretty much roll two dice and apply. The final quest is yet more of the same. I found myself disinterested half way through even though we were close to losing. Maybe if it was like Cthulhu where bad stuff happened till you completed a quest it would be more interesting. Maybe the quests had some set collection or different ideas like visit certain locations or take out so many ghouls it would be more interesting. As it stands I’ll play a few more times but after that you’ve seen it all. The card powers are interesting but you only hold on to them to randomly use one on a quest. Just kind of meh and I wished for more and I think they could have done better. I have no experience with the IP it’s based on. Components and quality is off the charts, really well done. They didn’t need to go that far to lower the MSRP though.

    The game is easy, quests are non-thematic. Uninspired game comparing to Fall of Rome. I prefere the defending concept of Fall of Rome or Defenders of the Realm over this.

In World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, players journey to the frozen continent of Northrend to face the armies of the Lich King. This "Pandemic System" game showcases familiar mechanisms and gameplay, now tweaked to embrace the setting of the Wrath of the Lich King. Forts, temples, battlegrounds, and more populate the game board as you and your fellow heroes journey across the cold landscape. Along the way, you’ll set up strongholds, complete quests, and do battle with legions of undead.

In more detail, players team up as legendary heroes from across Azeroth, each with their own unique abilities to help in and out of combat. Heroes such as Thrall, Warchief of the Horde; Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind; Sylvanas Windrunner, Banshee Queen of the Forsaken; and many more are at your fingertips. As the Scourge grows, more undead will populate the board. Throw dice as you enter into battle against the hordes of ghouls and ferocious abominations, using hero cards to add power to your attacks, block incoming assaults, heal wounds, take mounts to far off spaces, and so much more.

As you fight your way to the Lich King, all manner of dark magic and terrible creatures under his control need to be neutralized. This comes in the form of quests, a brand-new mechanism that can be completed as a team through a combination of dice rolls and the hero cards at your disposal. However, each quest comes with its own dangers and hindrances. Complete these quests to move closer to the final assault on Icecrown Citadel, where the Lich King himself resides.
