By Blake Snow

World of Warcraft: The Board Game is now shipping to stores and will be available this Friday. WoW
enthusiasts will have to shell out a whopping $80 for the board though. The 2-6 player game is reported to take 3-9 hours to play and here are some game features:

  • Play as one of 16 heroes from nine classes and eight races, advance your character and gather treasure, battle
    thirteen different types of monsters, and ultimately challenge one of three invincible Overlords.

  • Build your character up from level 1 up to level 5 (the equivalent to level 60 in the online game) all the while
    increasing your character's stats, abilities, talents, and equipment.

  • The game box weights more than 10 pounds(!) and contains nearly 1000 components including 16 sculpted Heroes of
    the Horde and the Alliance, 120 plastic monsters, and hundreds upon hundreds of cards and cardboard tokens.
