Cards & Boards

World of Warcraft (WoW) Trading Card Game (TCG) fans take note, for there’s new stuff to be bought at your favorite game store!

The new Dungeon Decks, 2011 Fall Class Starters and Thrones of Tides expansion packs are now available. Yup, triple whammy in time for the coming holiday season? Need stocking stuffers for yourself, or friends? Look no further than these bunch of latest WoW TCG products!

The Dungeon Decks feature all-new treasure cards which make awesome upgrades to your existing decks. You can also buy one of the Dungeon Decks, which give you an awesome quest way of playing WoW TCG.

Beginners and experienced players will love the new Class starters. A follow-up to the very awesome 2011 Summer Class Starters, this special 61-card product gives us ten new heroes, and each deck contain one booster pack (from the War of the Elements expansion). Pretty darn worth it, for RM50 a pop I say!

And to sweeten the deal, each of the Fall Class Starters will have one random common, uncommon, rare or epic reprint from an older WoW TCG expansion block. Yes, these reprints mean that they return to the current Core format! Wow indeed!

Finally, if you’re looking to crack just booster packs, look no further than the Thrones of the Tides that just came in. Murlocs, and all forms of new monstrosities plus the usual plethora of allies, abilities, quests and equipment are in this set. Well, go crazy, but not too crazy!

The latest WoW TCG products were sighted in Comics Mart, Mid-Valley Mega Mall and ought to be seen in better game shops. Good luck hunting for them!

Those who are familiar with the Boardgamecafe.net boardgames group would know that they used to rotate around the Cheras area, with the focus on a certain branch of a very famous kopitiam franchise most Friday nights.

Well, the good news is now they have a permanent home! Called OTK Cheras (OTK standing for Old Town Kopitiam), the place looks like a pretty impressive haven for all gamers in that part of the Klang Valley. Heck, it looks impressive enough as it claims to be the first boardgames place for kids!

For the full lowdown on the OTK group’s humble beginnings, as well as precise address and map, plus a list of what these guys stock, get it straight from the horse’s mouth right here.

Check them out if you can, as boardgaming in Malaysia just got itself another shot in the arm!
