About the game
Beyond the Dark Portal lies a broken land of adventure, mystery, and unfathomable peril. The once beauteous world of Draenor has been destroyed by the plotting of the orc shaman Ner'zhul – only Outland, a scarred and broken continent adrift in the Twisting Nether, remains. Return to your ancestral homeland as a proud warrior of the Horde, or search for the heroic survivors of the Second War as a noble soldier of the Alliance. Take your World of Warcraft: the Board Game experience to new heights of power and depths of peril with The Burning Crusade Expansion. Play as a Draenei shaman or a Blood Elf paladin. Unlock new powers and talents as you rise to level six. Challenge new Overlords, battle new monsters, purchase a flying mount, and venture into dangerous dungeons in both Azeroth and Outland. Dozens of detailed plastic figures, with new monsters and new heroes. New game board, new Heroes, new monsters, new quests, new items, new powers, new rules, dungeons, flying mounts, Outland, and more!
