Abstract

Board Games have been around us for years. And although our technology has evolved and brought to us new forms of entertainment, we still play board games. If we still play them it is possibly because they are enjoyable and make us feel good. But these games have also evolved and became more complex. One of these new games is World of Warcraft ? The Board Game. Our objective is to develop the computer version of this game to reduce the game complexity, remove physical limitations and reduce the time spent. And at the same time, manage to maintain or improve the games rules, mechanisms and fun factor. The result of this work was a functional version of the World of Warcraft ? The Board Game for PC. In this version it is possible to change the game environment, through the modification of configuration files for cards, board, etc. It is also possible to change some game rules, like the number of turns, number of player actions, etc.
