This has been something, I've been trying to do, ever since I studied it more closely and I can't seem to find a way to tell a newbie, who has never before played StarCraft, what this game is all about.

Of course, you can just say, you have to micro and macro, but that describes pretty much every strategy game...

So everyone, think about it and try to sum SC BW up in about 5-10 sentences :D
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

A game based in the future with three completely different races, which have their own unique spells, units, and attributes. The Zerg is like an evolutionary biological type of alien, The Protoss is like a futuristic technologically advanced alien, The Terrans are like humans with machines. Your objective is to fight other players and races to secure more resources, make a bigger army, and kill the other player.

ilnp described Starcraft in a whole quite nicely a while ago. You can try to search for it.

I found some cool old opinions on the game. This is art:
(translated from swedish)

A pretty fun game.
There are three teams with different skills, like the Zerg for example. They are always regaining hp when they are wounded. Terrans have to repair their units, and protoss have a SHIELD and when it goes away, they are hurted, but when they are not in combat the shield is increasing again!! Thats why protoss is my favourite race!

If I would want to get a noob interrested I would probably start by telling how popular it is in korea. Starcraft shoes, Girls crying and hunting the gamers, all the money, Yellows insured fingers etc etc.

I think ilnp's description of starcraft from a year ago was the best and most succinct that I have read. Try looking it up, it is in the forum somewhere.
