WoW Board Game

Has anyone out there played the World of Warcraft board game? It comes with more than a dozen types of cards, four pages of tokens to punch out, reference sheets for classes and monsters, a big stack of miniatures, and an instruction book of about 25 pages. It is designed for 6 players, with variants for smaller groups. Minimum table space needed is about two standard card tables; the board itself takes up one.

After fumbling through trying to set up a first game this weekend, our consensus seemed to be that we could just play WoW. I have played some pretty complex board games and war games, but is it worth learning it all for the WoW board game? If you don’t play WoW?

Comment on Comments

All comments are read and appreciated. They let us know what y’all find interesting. Please feel free to comment on any post, even fairly ancient ones. We get e-mail notification and have a list of all recent comments, so your words on a year-old post will still be welcomed like a newborn child.

Unfortunately, if your name is something like “All Herbal Viagra,” your comments may be caught by our spam filter. You’d be caught by my e-mail spam filter, too, so I don’t know how you get around that without picking a new name. Why would your parents name you something like that, anyway?

Thank you for reading, caring, and helping us kill rats. We love our community.

Dating For Gamers Part 2: Conning

Welcome again to the single, introverted, heterosexual males. We are still committed to applying your gaming experience to the romantic sphere. Remember: with a name like Kill Ten Rats, how can the dating advice be bad?

In this issue of our occasional series, let us consider the relevance of level differences. For those of you shaky on game lingo, “con” is short for “consideration,” the system by which you determine if something is an easy (blue, green, grey) target or if you are about to suffer horrible pain. The only deception we will be discussing is self-deception.

EA Nerfs E3

The Entertainment Software Association announced yesterday that E3 is “evolving” into “a more intimate event focused on targeted, personalized meetings and activities”.

This is unbelievable. I was actually befuddled for a minute or two after reading the press release. And then it all started making sense…especially when news broke that EA has been whining about the increasing costs. This is like Donald Trump whining about how expensive cheesecake is, and then demanding that only apple pie be served at restaurants.

The entire press release, and my comments are as follows:

The Move Is On

EVE[EVE Online] The last few weeks have been interesting to say the least. Our corporation (Ars Caelestis) had another corp we highly respected merge into ours. Shortly after that there was an election for the HUZZAH Federation president. The leader of the corp that merged into ours decided to run and one other player in another corp also decided to run. The election was close but a winner was chosen.

Everything changed for us after the election. It became clear that our corporation’s direction and goals did not really match up with those of our alliance any more. We discussed it at length and decided to leave the alliance so we gave our official notice. Not long after that the corp that merged into ours announced they wanted to go their own way as well and left our corporation and the alliance. My time with HUZZAH was very enjoyable and exciting and I won’t soon forget all the fun we have had.
