The Lich King, the Scourge, and the Plague - these game elements from Wrath of the Lich King are the perfect template for a macabre board game centered on Pandemic. The concept of the said board game has been around for a few years and was created long before the Covid-19 outbreak. In Pandemic, players pursue the goal of preventing the plague from breaking out in the world.

Stop the Lich King and the plague!

This game concept is made for a board game from the Warcraft universe. So at the beginning of this year, Z-Man Games and Blizzard teamed up to release a "World of Warcraft" board game based on the Pandemic rulebook. In the WoW spinoff, however, players won't be fighting just any virus, but rather the legendary Scourge plague unleashed across Azeroth by the Lich King in Wrath of the Lich King.
