Fantasy Flight Games, the makers of the World of Warcraft line of board games, are apparently happy enough with the franchise to announce two expansions for the game, to be released later this year. One will be a smaller add-on with some new card sets to be released in July, with a full-blown expansion to follow in the fall. A Starcraft game is also planned for release, and you can read more details about the games in the full story here at ICV2 News.

I haven't played a board game since the last time I set up my nephew's Mouse Trap set just to watch it go off, but I have fond memories of playing the old TSR Dungeon board game, that was sort of a D&D lite that your parents might actually play with you. I might should check one of these out sometime...if I can find anyone else geeky enough to play with me...
