In the last few years, videogame themedboard gamesseem to have found a market; whether it be for thehardcore fanof the series or the avid board game collector. During the 109th New York Toy Fair this past weekend,USAopolyhave announced two new editions ofMonopolyandRISKcentered around two distinct Blizzard universes.
Monopoly: World of Warcraftwill take players all aroundAzeroth, from the Twilight Highlands to the Swamp of Sorrows, looking to take as much land as their gold will get them. Players can even take control of faction capitals like the orcish city of Orgimmar and the human kingdom of Stormwind. USAopoly is also holding a FaceBookpollfor which six tokens should appear in the final game.Monopoly: World of Warcraftwill be appearing in stores this May and retailing for $39.95.
RISK: StarCraftwill allow players to choose from the iconic three races of Terran, Protoss or Zerg to see who can claim control of the Koprulu Sector. The game boasts over 290 custom designed pieces, along with three different game modes.RISK: StarcCraftwill be releasing some time this summer, at the price tag of $49.45.
