5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, easy to learn minis game., June 12, 2009

By	T. Lee "Corrupt Gamer" (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The rules are simple and easy to learn, as in 15 minutes to read through the manual, then you're ready to play a basic game. The games go by quickly, so it's good for fitting a one-off into a busy schedule, or getting lots of games in during an evening of play.

The miniatures are big and look great (for plastic prepaints), with lots of detail and paintjobs. One fault is the clip-on bases: they don't clip on so good. Luckily, that doesn't really impact the game unless you're a nitpicker.

One suggestion: splurge on the deluxe edition. Six minis, six bases, six dice, a couple dozen cardboard counters, and a rugged cardboard, double-sided map to play on. Lots of value for the money.

Game On!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, fun game., February 26, 2009

By	C. Stowers "RandomHero" (Marysville, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

The game is fun to play and it seems like there is a good amount of variation. The deluxe map board is a great upgrade from the paper map. My only real complaint is that none of the minis snap into the bases. They fit well and spin well enough but they do not lock into the base making it hard to move them around the board without pulling them out completely.

Overall it is a fun game and is worth buying but be aware of the minor defect.

4.0 out of 5 stars WoW miniature game, March 25, 2009

By	Vetinari (Zagreb) - See all my reviews

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

Deluxe starter is a great thing for starting this cool game (WoW making money in every form:-)and in comparison to normal starter it's so much better! It costs a bit more, true, but for that money one will get so much more than the normal starter provides- good quality map and most important 6 characters of which not all are common (like in normal starter), and the way the games should be played is 3 vs 3 characters not 2 v 2 like you get in normal starter.
So if you are interested in trying this pretty good and intriguing game this is the product you have to start with.

Regarding the post above, the bases where the miniatures are mounted ARE indeed pretty badly made. Every 2nd or 3rd base won't connect to the miniature strong enough and pretty often when lifted the miniature will fall off.
Very stupid and annoying thing in this generally pretty good game.
If you like World of Warcraft its (almost) must-try :-)
