World of Warcraft Monopoly® and StarCraft Risk®

World of Warcraft Monopoly® and StarCraft Risk®

We’re pleased to announce a partnership with USAopoly to release fresh takes on two classic board games. Monopoly®: World of Warcraft® and RISK®: StarCraft® combine tried-and-true foundations with new visual designs inspired by our popular gaming universes.Those who dare to engage will discover a new chance to claim supremacy, both over their friends and over the battle-torn lands of Azeroth and the Koprulu Sector.

These games will formally debut at the 109th annual Toy Fair this Sunday, February 12 in New York City.

 

We’re holding a poll on Facebook right now where you can vote on which player pieces will make it into the final Monopoly: World of Warcraft board game! Ten options, including Murky, Chen’s Keg, Mechagnome, and a Spellbook are present, and the six most popular pieces will be represented in the game when it launches this May.

(Pieces pictured are casting sculptures and don’t reflect the final product.)

Monopoly: World of Warcraft

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 our 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 roll Alliance- and Horde-themed dice, and feverishly buy, sell and trade in true MONOPOLY fashion, until one player controls the lands and vanquishes all comers. The game retails for $39.95 and will be available in May at specialty stores across North America.

 

RISK: StarCraft

The forthcoming release of RISK: StarCraft will see players choose from the terran, protoss, or zerg factions and six unique heroes before going head to head in this board game classic. The struggles portrayed in the real-time strategy of StarCraft adapt perfectly to classic tabletop RISK gameplay, and the winner will be determined by astute deployment of military might and strategic field tactics. RISK: StarCraft will include three play modes and sports over 290 custom playing pieces. The game launches this summer and will be available in specialty stores throughout North America with a suggested retail price of $49.45.

Starcrft Risk idea is great! If you manage to put the eco model from the game in Risk it will be so hardcore! Unfortunately you aint getting even close to Risk 2210. Whats with the map? U decided u can just mirror the original map and replace the continents with planets? Where is the blizzard touch in all this? Concidering the fact Risk 2210 has 7 expands u will have a run for your money, and I am not sure if you will have even one expansion after the original release of STARCTAFT RISK. Good luck Bizzard!

I remember this being announced and I immediately mentally checked out because all I initially saw was 'World Of Warcraft: Monopoly'. WoWopoly? Pass. Then a random ImageSearch turned up what I thought was the most impressive photoshop I've ever seen for a fake game. Except... it's not a fake game! I'm off to USAopoly now! I must pre-order! I'm as excited as I was for 'Risk: Metal Gear Solid' and 'Gears Of War: The Board Game'! 290 more pieces! I hope they're to scale to the Starcraft boardgame, 'cause this is begging for a hybridization between the two! And if not---Risk! Starcraft!

Actually: where *do* you go to pre-order? USAopoly doesn't even have a page for it, and Amazon and BigBadToyStore searches turn up empty. Will it be sold via BattleNet?

I love Risk 2210 A.D. I can only hope that the SC version will be as awesome (and certainly better than the official StarCraft board game. I was NOT a fan.)

@VJStrife: IT's OK if you mess with the rules; I lol'd when I realised all the changes I made were also done in the expansion. (Wich I was to cheap to pay $60 for. [I got the base game as a gift so I didn't pay the initial $100.])

@CraftMaster: I just had a 1v1 of SC:tbg today. Aldaris vs Kerrigan. I won by the end draws near special victory :D. Though I can say that if the game didn't end with the stack of stage 3 cards we had stacked up, it's possible the zerg would have wiped me out, but hey you never know. I had taken his planet, Becker Ro, and would have had plenty of resources to build 4 units and then build 4 more on another build order or attack his wad of ultras/mutas. I really think I'll be buying the SC2:Risk game since I do have a bigger circle of friend who would play RISK.

rules: protoss: per planet +1 zealot
: Terran: per planet + 2 Marines
: Zerg: per planet + 3 Zerglings
*ALL UNITS HAVE THE SAME HEALTH*
that would be epic and defeat equal races all at the same time.....
yet it matches real starcraft better

As an avid boardgame collector (and SC fan), as much as I like RISK games, it does suck that the old Fantasy Flight Games are discontinued (especially StarCraft.) If you happen to stumble upon a copy of it, make sure you pick it up; you won't regret it.
