WarCraft Board Game Compared, Rated

Thanks to OgreCave for their review of Fantasy Flight's boardgame version of seminal PC RTS WarCraft. The review starts off: "Ladies and gentlemen, WarCraft has left the computer, and this time it's survived", and continues: "Where Eagle's Age of Mythology conversion focused on all the little complex details of resource building, putting the whole game there, FFG's WarCraft makes the crucial change of putting the board back in." He concludes: "Basically, if you're looking for [in-depth, detailed] stuff to chew on, it's unquestionably here, but the focus is on fun, and that's what gets delivered." Elsewhere, there are some additional scenarios for the game already available on the official site.

Fantasy Flight is one of the most unpleasant work environments I've ever been in. I doubt I would work there if I were paid 3 times what I was.

Fantasy Flight: You need to hire a couple of your warehouse people instead of keeping them on as temps. You need to pay for insurance. You should probably pay them a living wage. The fact that "everybody does it this way" is insufficient justification. What's humourous is people there complained that you couldn't keep workers.
