    Small World of Warcraft - New Board Game, MSI Ny'alotha Showdown: Method Vs. Aversion

    Small World of Warcraft - New Board Game
    Blizzard has teamed up with Days of Wonder to create a new board game themed after World of Warcraft! Small World of Warcraft is a stand-alone board game set in Azeroth, can be played in 2-5 players, and will be available for purchase in Summer 2020.



    MSI Ny'alotha Showdown: Method Vs. Aversion
    Method and MSI are teaming up to bring you the Ny'alotha Showdown, a race to Mythic N'Zoth between Method and Aversion.

    The event starts today on Method's Twitch Channel and will also feature a dungeon race on Shadowlands Alpha and a PvP dueling tournament, with a total prize pool of $4,000.

    Woo! I love Small World so I'm definetively getting this one as well.
    Wonder if they'll work nicely with races from the other games as well.

    Cool - so now not only can I not do in game content due to lack of friends, I can also not play a board game due to lack of friends.

    Good to see WoW expanding the franchise

    dungeon racing is such a boring concept, they are really at the bottom rung of ideas these days and struggling to engage players/viewers

    Always what I wanted, but like... 15 years too late.

    I've kinda grown out of the boardgame phase, and me and my friends haven't had time to get together for a board game for years now.

    No matter the topic, someone will find a way to redirect it to complain about their current aggro.

    It's not really a wonder as to why people avoid you, given your track record on this forum

    Go out and meet some people (I know that’s easier said than done, but it is still doable), and/or if you’re mobile go find a gaming den. I live in a city with about 100,000+ people and we have 2. Even if you’re in a rural area there’s usually some in a nearby city. Most of those places are pick up and play, so even if you don’t know anyone you can usually find games. Start up a conversation. See what happens.

    Having been to some rural towns in the west... "nearby city" is much further away then you think.

    Most are within 20 minutes to an hour drive, so yeah, that’s close. Considering they usually host once or twice a week, that’s usually enough time to get out of the house and make a trip. So I said, “If you’re mobile...”

    Hour drive...
    Who's going to drive 80 miles to go to a mobile lounge?

    Probably not the best time to release a board game considering people aren't really congregating. I guess it's good for families though.

    What little we can see from the trailer, it seems to be fully compatible with the base game and its expansions.

    I mean, this isn't a Blizzard-sponsored event. This is all Method and MSI creating their own community content.

    This is fun and all but... when are we getting our D&D 5e adventure module?

    Omg what the hell is on their mind? Why do they forget about their core fans which helped them get where they are which are PC gamers?!?

    All just to chase that growing boardgame market, just for money. Wasting resources on this instead of Shadowlands, I guess it's confirmed Shadowlands will be bad.
