:shock:

Would you be willing to pay $40 to play a computer game on a tabletop board?

Probably, but if it's anything like the game it's based on then no.

I'd much rather play a board game with my friends than play a computer game with strangers over the internet. Same way I'd much rather play a table top RPG than a computer one (though I've never played a PBEM so I can't comment on them)

Its really not that hard to meet up with friends online to play a game like Warcraft III. I doubt more then a hundred people will buy a table top War3, and all of them will be collectors hoping to resell the game unopened fifteen years down the line.

Warcraft on table top? Sounds a bit like Warhammer.

There's something to be said about the camaraderie of getting together to play a board game.

But not for this.

You mean you haven't tried the Warcraft RPG yet? <G>

It's got stuff for dark elves, Orks, elves, humans, and everyone else, set in the Warcraft universe.

Looks cute, but I'm not going to buy it.
