Since I cover and review both video games and board games, I tend to take a special interest in board game adaptions of video games. However, I have had pretty poor luck with them, they end up being poor adaptions, have broken mechanics, or end up just being pretty bad games.

Worms, however, seems like it should be a homerun hit, the turn-based nature of the video game is the perfect canvas to transform into a board game.
