Warcraft - From The Screen To The Board

Thanks to OgreCave for their article discussing the imminent arrival of the Warcraft-licensed board game, adapting Blizzard's classic RTS series for paper-gaming. They point to a new article on maker Fantasy Flight Games' site, where "...designer Kevin Wilson described his desire to have an endless variety of scenarios for the game, and how victory points and interchangable board pieces will make it possible." The game itself, shipping later this month, will have "13 board sections alone, helping bring the game's component count to over 400 pieces", but despite the large amount of units, an earlier article describes the design goal: "...to create a fun, relatively simple game that could be played in under 2 hours while still capturing enough of Warcraft's charm to have players yelling 'Zug zug!' and 'At your command, my Lord!'"

Sad

This is really sad. Because the Games category is not on the default list of viewable Slashdot article categories, noone but me reads these - well, myself and the two other persons who posted here that is. TPTB should either add Games to the default category list, or stop wasting effort posting Games articles. If noone is going to read these, then the time is better spent bringing us other kinds of news, IMHO.
