Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

I vote for better trash domes. I haven't cared about the last four or five.
Put up, or shut up!
And I've asked for suggestions.

WORLD OF WARCRAFT is a truly bad game. I'm really surprised that Mr. Petersen was behind it, it feels really sloppy and strangely dated...it feels like playing some 1992 fantasy game with a questionable pedigree. Virtually nothing about it works. I've tried to like it four times, and I gave up on it. I've never had a game bomb straight out of the box like that four times in a row, and with four totally different groups.
I think it's going to go down as the big dud out of the coffin box games, barring something worse (!) later on down the line.
So yeah, WOWABG, totally.

Skeletor, don't worry about that review you promised me in 2012. I think I'll skip it.WORLD OF WARCRAFT is up there (down there?) with the worst games that FFG has produced.

WORLD OF WARCRAFT is up there (down there?) with the worst games that FFG has produced. Ironically, WARCRAFT is also there too. But WORLD OF WARCRAFT ADVENTURE...I thought it was OK. It wasn't great, it wasn't Corey K at his best, but it was alright. And it had a couple of decent design ideas, it just fell into that "I have 10 other games like this" trap.

I think WOW: TBG has a truly excellent character advancement/combat system. Well, sorta.
The combat system is really inventive and the skills actually mirror their WOW: The MMO conterparts really really well. It's just really clunky to do in game. Good idea, but the whole process is too complicated for a boardgame.
Which probably describes the rest of the game really. Clunky. Slow. Over-burdened.
I'd have to give it to WoW: The Adventure Game. It at least admits that the boardgame medium requires you to streamline your design.

The adventure game is good because it's quick to set up and play, whereas the boardgame is a pre-plan game, bit overall I think the boardgame is the stronger, more original design. And it plays better solo
VOTE: THE BOARDGAME.
PS - I hate how they game these games near identicle titles.

I do have to say that I've never played the "big" one with either expansion, and I have heard that they improve the game dramatically...can anyone comment on that allegation?

I was bored and nonplussed by WOW: TAG. I thought the quick combat would be nice but it makes everything feel completely unsubstantial. Before I played it, I assumed that my holy grail was a short-playing adventure game. After, I realized that by shortening such a game, you lose almost everything about it that makes it great. WOW: TAG isn't half the game Runebound is, not by a longshot.
So...vote goes to

I liked WOW: TBG until it hit the endgame. Then it was a car wreck.
Use the optional rule at the back of the rulebook and take it out.

Agree 100%

The adventure game was better, but still sucked ass.
Vote: the adventure game -- sucks for only 90 minutes instead of five hours.
