Quests from World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King: more “abstract” This is a variable player powers game, so each player can take a specific character: See above. The dice are used in combats to fight the Abominations, Ghouls, and the Lich King. The dice: no bad outcomes! All good stuff! He comes in a little cardboard square (to keep him from breaking?). The Lich King is the final Bad Bass to fight! The Abominations come out when an overrun happens and begin tracking the players! The ghouls are basically the “disease cubes” from the original Pandemic. The player minis are really nice… I wish they would have included a “colored” bottom to distinguish them. The minis are pretty fantastic! See the Players up front, the ghouls behind them, the Abominations, and finally the Lich King! The Coke can is for scale (next to the board). The cards are nice and linen-finished! YOu can see the game summary cards, the Hero Cards, and the infection cards all above!

Publishers Days of Wonder say it's "expected to be available in summer 2020", and will cost £57/$60/€60. I've only played that a couple of times, but giving players extra-good territory to squabble over definitely added to things. They sound like rebranded versions of the "Righteous Relics and Popular Places" from a standalone game called Small World Underground, which is fine by me. It also talks about how "players will occupy legendary terrains and seek control of powerful artifacts". The press release mentions "Portal Mage Pandarens" and "Herbalist Goblins", which both sound snazzy. You never want to push the death button too late or too early.


That's when you flip over all the tokens you've placed on the board, and get to start charging around the map with a new race of Exuberant Kobolds, or something. The twist is that you only have a certain number of tokens, so at a certain point it makes sense to send your race into decline. I can't quite tell what the Orc's special deal is, but I imagine it involves smashing. So in the example above, you can see the "Fishing" part of those Orcs gives them more points for controlling territory that's next to water. You're trying to clobber your way into different areas and extract points from them, using special abilities that help you beat back your opponents and make certain spaces more lucrative. It's a territory control game, where you're competing for (small) world domination against up to four other people. Small World is pretty good! It's about stitching complementary abilities together, then choosing the right moment to plunge your chosen people into extinction. I'm confident that the upcoming Small World Of Warcraft will buck that trend, because it's basically Small World wearing a World Of Warcraft coat with new ideas stuffed in its pockets. There are exceptions ( hello, XCOM), but you often wind up with overwrought slogfests ( hello, Dark Souls). When videogames try to return to their ancestral routes, it doesn't always go well.
