Board Games are Go: World of Warcraft Monopoly & StarCraft Risk Coming Soon

If you’re a keen World of Warcraft or StarCraft fan, you’ll be able to take your addiction to another level this summer with the release of World of Warcraft Monopoly and Starcraft Risk.

Blizzard has partnered with USAopoly to create themed versions of the two popular board games, thrusting players into the world of Azeroth and the Koprulu Sector. According to Blizzard, World of Warcraft Monopoly will allow players to experience the following:

Descend into a world of myth, magic and legendary adventure to battle for control of World of Warcraft’s iconic locations. Featuring custom graphics from Blizzard Entertainment’s world-class artists and designers, the MONOPOLY game’s land grab includes coveted real estate such as Twilight Highlands, Grizzly Hills and the Swamp of Sorrows. In the rush to rule over the faction capitals of Orgrimmar and Stormwind, players will feverishly buy, sell and trade in true MONOPOLY fashion, until one player controls the lands and vanquishes all comers.

The game will come with custom Warcraft themed houses and hotels, and is expected to launch in May at a recommended retail price of $39.95. If you’re interested in influencing the choice of player tokens, you can log into the World of Warcraft Facebook page for the opportunity to vote on which iconic tokens should be included.

Meanwhile, a little further into the future, StarCraft Risk will place players in charge of the Terran, Protoss or Zerg factions and six unique heroes to ultimately bring order to the galaxy. The board game will be available in the US this summer at the suggested retail price of $49.45
