In the context of WoTLK Classic Gold Wrath of the Lich King is all about stopping an World of Warcraft plague and the Pandemic series is about the battle against the deadly global epidemic This partnership can be quite logical even if it's still a little weird to have the board game version of an 2008 MMORPG development in 2021.
It was teased previously, Z-man Games has now revealed more information about what the game's board will play. Players will need to cooperate to defeat Lich King's World of Warcraft army, players will take on the role of various heroes from Azeroth like Varian Worynn Thrall as well as Sylvanas. Each hero has special abilities. Players will also spend the game collecting hero cards that grant players new equipment such as mounts, weapons, and other items like potions to help make a difference in the fight against Arthas and his zombie enemies. The game plays on a detailed map of Northrend featuring various forts, temples, battlegrounds and other places from the legendary MMO.
While the game uses numerous established rules and mechanics, a brand-new game mechanic introduces quests. Utilizing dice and hero cards players will traverse the frozen waste of Northrend to complete quests in shape of fighting monsters, or destroying ancient artifacts, all as they get closer to Icecrown Citadel and a confrontation with Arthas himself.
