Blizzard Entertainment presented many new announcements at its own convention BlizzCon: New expansions for World of Warcraft, and Hearthstone and successors to Overwatch and Diablo. One report was almost lost. Thanks to BlizzCon attendees, it is still being spread. Asmodee and Blizzard are collaborating on a new World of Warcraft board game that is scheduled to be released next spring. 


The first pictures taken by visitors to BlizzCon of the new World of Warcraft board game - it is a "work in progress" - indicate the character of the game: It is based on Smallworld. This is already openly communicated. Details about the WoW board game are not known, but it can be seen that various well-known WoW races, including orcs, trolls, tauren or elves, will find their way into the game.

WoW board game: a new game instead of a new edition

There are several board games for World of Warcraft, now another one is being added. In collaboration with Asmodee Blizzard Entertainment is releasing another analog title set in Azeroth. Interesting: The board game might not be aimed exclusively at fans with previous knowledge.

The World of Warcraft board game will not be a remake of an existing game. Instead, the makers probably rely on a transfer of a functioning mechanism into the WoW universe. It is still unknown whether the board game offers more than Smallworld in terms of play or is just a visual adaptation.

The user "Skelextorr" published some first photos, taken directly at BlizzCon 2019, via Twitter.

The board game Smallworld by Days of Wonder apparently forms the basis. The gameplay will also be similar: In a fantasy world - this time Azeroth - players will probably fight for supremacy on the game board, expand their realms and use a combination of race and special ability.

The board game will probably be less “epic” than the World of Warcraft board game, which was distributed in this country by the Heidelberg game publisher, now HeidelBär Games. The board game originally came from Fantasy Flight Games. Now will Asmodee and Blizzard will probably rely on a concept that is more suitable for the masses and can score points with catchy rules and a fast game.

One advantage of being oriented towards Smallworld: The board game would be open to future expansions. Asmodee and Blizzard could then publish new content at regular intervals, perhaps adapted to newly appearing extensions. German localization can be assumed.

Fans will know whether this will work by spring 2020 at the latest, when the new World of Warcraft board game will appear.
