Pandemic: World of Warcraft – Wrath of the Lich King

Pandemic's cooperative engine, moved to Northrend. You play heroes of the Alliance and Horde fighting the Scourge together: ghouls spread across the map instead of diseases, abominations rise when a region overflows, and the Lich King's forces advance every turn. Win by completing three quests and then storming Icecrown Citadel to defeat him; lose if the Scourge overruns the continent or the deck runs out. A turn is four actions: move, fight ghouls, trade cards, or work on a quest, followed by drawing cards that spread the Scourge. Hero abilities and gear cards make each character play differently. This is a standalone game, not an expansion; no Pandemic box is needed. It is heavier and more combat-flavoured than the original, so it suits a group that found classic Pandemic too dry, and it is the obvious pick for World of Warcraft players who want a board game night.
