After the surprise success of the Warcraft and World of Warcraft board games, Fantasy Flight Games have announced an upcoming Starcraft board game.

Shift your insect-like plastic Zerg across the board! Draw cards with incomprehensible South Korean l337 speak printed upon them to get advantages over your opponent! Wage wars between the Protoss and Terrans while making impressive sounds laser-gun sounds with your mouth.

Or, as Fantasy Flight themselves describe:

It features a large central game board depicting the Starcraft galaxy, as well as nine separate smaller boards that each represent a specific planet in the Starcraft universe. Players will control the familiar Terran, Protoss, or Zerg space and ground units in a bid for domination of these nine worlds. The combat system is fast and diceless, featuring an innovative mechanic that utilizes transparent plastic game cards. The game will feature dozens of beautifully sculpted plastic figures, dozens of cards, lots of high-quality cardboard tokens and markers, a large game board and several mini-boards, and all of the other great components that pack our epic-size games. Starcraft: The Board Game is scheduled for release in October.

They've also got a World of Warcraft board game expansion in the works. Check the link to find out more.
