Warcraft Party

Warcraft Party

Overview

"Warcraft Party", simply put, is a strategic turn based board game comparable to that of the original Mario Party on the Nintendo 64. Players assume the role of a hero, from Warcraft lore, and travel around the board with the quest of acquiring tablets of power, which grant them levels. After each turn ends, a random minigame will be initiated in which each player can compete to earn extra gold. At the end of the initially set amount of turns, all of the heroes levels will be tallied to determine a overall winner.

Any comments, suggestions or criticism is much appreciated!

I also require suggestions for minigames to implement. They must be able to be played by 8 people and a minimum of 2 and should take no longer then 2 minutes.

Thankyou for taking the time to have a look.

The idea of the game is rather very common but it isn't done in warcraft III after all. Well, hopefully those mini-games will be unique. I can see 4 of them now is very common of I see them in every mini-game map. Brain storm hardly =D Good luck

I'm going to be honest, I would really want to play this map. I tried making a similar map once, but I simply lacked the skill at the time to complete the map.
I would enjoy walking around the board like in the old days of Mario Party on the 64.

However, as mentioned, you are probably going to want to think of some more original mini-games. I don't have any ideas for you, unfortunately.

I completely understand nobody wants to play just a carbon copy of Uther Party. Hopefully that is where the board game part of play will help distinguish the map. But in saying so I definitely agree with both your comments that the mini games will need to be unique.

There is absolutely no point in say having a game "Throw the Rock at the Penguin" Where in Uther party the exact same game was called "Spear the Pig". What i have been trying to do is go through the Mario party games and pick out suitable mini games that would be able to be transferred to a wc3 format. Another stipulation to creating these minigames is that they cannot last for too long.

On average if you say one player takes 30 seconds on a turn on the board game map, that then is 4 minutes give or take to complete a turn (with 8 players) exclusive of the minigame played at the end.If minigames were kept to approximately last 2 minutes, then for a normal sized game (25 turns), it would take 150 minutes or 2 and a half hours. Ultimately the most probable option would be to speed up the time it takes to move spaces on the actual map.

Anways i have updated the main post with better minigame descriptions, one new minigame ( missing photo), as well as three more screenshots of an overview of the board game map.

This always reminds me of Mario Party when I see it.

less turns fixes the whole thing and using like 7 random out of 20 possible mini games per game
