Let me count the ways in which I hate you for this post.
 

Tobold, did you do a review of WoW:The Board Game?
 

Of course I did!

By the way, there is a search function at the top of the page.
 

The WoW Board Game was actually the most expensive, completely confusing game I ever tried to play. Me and the wife picked it up at the mall before a hurricane hit. When the power went out, we broke out the game. 6 hours later we were still setting it up and trying to figure out the rules to make the first move.
 

Heh. I figured you had reviewed the game, Tobold, and believe it or not I looked for a Search window on your page...but...I only looked in the top left corner, not the top right :P

I get the feeling that at least one to two people should be WoW players willing to sit down and read the manual and learn how to play WoW:The Board Game before attempting to get others involved. If this means making preparations on a Thursday for a Friday night game, so be it.

Four hours to play one game, though? This is a board game, and I know some board games are of the epic variety, Monopoly, for example, can take quite some time to play if one player does not acquire loads of property early on, but four hours?

It sounds like they're attempting to replicate an evening of old school AD&D among several mature friends who are more than willing to sit down and play one game for hours on end.

I might be able to talk the wife into playing it (mano a womano ;), but I'd need to have everything set up and ready to go before she even sat down at the table.

Holy Crap!!! http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/108358
That looks intimidating!

How easy would it be to paint the player models? I have some experience painting WH and WH40K models. Are the WoW models a similar size?

I'd want the player models to look unique and interesting, at least compared to the drab, single color monster models.
