Merchandising, Enterprising Me
I’ve been doing some thinking about how to make a bazillion dollars and never have to work or worry again. Sometimes I do that. Generally I’m in charge of inventions, while my husband is ostensibly the research and development/marketing guy, but between you and me and the wall… he doesn’t live up to his full potential in these areas. That’s why I’m bringing my latest brain child to you all for feedback.
I have developed a board game designed to simulate the Wrath of the Lich King raiding experience as closely as possible. I believe that this game will serve multiple audiences, from WOW players wanting to get a feel for what raiding is like before commiting to it, to the seasoned raider who just can’t get enough on raid nights, to the average nuclear family just wanting to spend some quality time together on a weekend. I think if Blizzard will license it I can sell it for $49.99 for just the board, while a collector’s edition with game pieces and dice should go for $69.99.
Feedback is welcome. I’m most interested in hearing how closely your experience playing the board game mirrors your raiding experience in game, as I am striving to make this as true to life as possible.
Click here to see the game. Enjoy! /snicker.

Thank you, that was hilarious.
I think this is a great idea!
If I could add one suggestion, integrate some Operation into the game so you get shocked when you land on random spaces or something…
omg sheer genius, Markus! /nodding and taking notes
“Stand in fire! Lose your dignity and a turn” lol. Your board game design is incredibly accurate. Will playing as a hunter involve moving 2 game pieces instead of one?
Smashie´s last blog ..Guide: Ret pvp spec
playing as a hunter will require you to chase your pet all over the board, losing double turns whenever you land on the same square together.
OMG…lulz. /roll a 100 to simulate waiting for 24 people to log on…so true.
Dertt´s last blog ..Meh…
Ahaha! This is wonderful! (and to think I want to try to do this raiding thing =P)
Tamarind´s last blog ..My flabber is well and truly gasted

“Guild Dramas! Lose 12 turns no matter what you do!”
Brilliant!
