The Tardis console sheet, which is where the player puts equipment, tokens and companions, is a disappointment to put it mildly. In February 2012, the BBC announced they had shelved the games in favour of worldwide console games such as Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock. During the Choose Angels Phase, the Angel player selects which of their Weeping Angels standees is “real”, and they pick up all of the Angel Identification Cards, selecting up to 4 of them. Blinking at the wrong time can be fatal, while Don’t Blink ensures Angels are stopped in their tracks – as long as you’re facing them. You must send your minions out to thwart both the Doctor’s and your opponents’ schemes, while bringing your own to fruition!

Worse still, his other adversaries have their own schemes, and they don’t involve you controlling everything. Each game has its own unique gameplay mechanics and objectives, but all feature beloved characters and creatures from the show. Also, as we discovered, if your dice rolls are poor from the start, you end up in a position where you realise that you can’t win long before the end of the game comes.Incorporating the facing or not facing mechanic makes this game even more interesting and immersive, giving you a chance to have some fun big brain energy with either yourself (if playing 1v1) or your teammates. Take the role of one of the Doctors to retrieve the key components whilst battling deadly foes and race back to the TARDIS to complete the repairs and be declared the winner!

I recently had an issue with a missing card from a purchase and they liaised with the publisher to arrange for it to be sent to me. Absolutely would not recommend this in a random group at a meetup unless you were in the mood for a headache. The one exception to this would be if you had a gaming group that was very good at communicating, perhaps knew each other for years, and had a good cooperative dynamic.Doctor Who first came on the air all the way back in 1963 and had a 23-year run that spanned 652 episodes and seven Doctors. Each round has five phases: Choose Angels Phase, Hero Move Phase, Hero Card Phase, Angel Phase, and Clean Up Phase. A surprising aspect of this game that only came up while moving heroes were configurations in which all lines of sight are covered can be countered by limited Don’t Blink cards. With a variety of options available, from cooperative games to competitive ones, Doctor Who Board Games offer something for everyone who enjoys strategy and adventure.
