So, whilst other people were climbing up the leaderboard, I spent yesterday evening playing The Time of the Daleks board game with @peribrown and @NonbinaryAroace.
A great game with lots of fun Doctor Who details - and one’s hilarious typo on the card Davros’ Masterplan… which is rendered Davro’s Masterplan!
What Doctor Who board games does everyone else have and play?
I’ve got Doctor Who Fluxx (not to be confused with the later season of a similar name)
The general idea is that the rules and win conditions are constantly changing, so there’s a lot of trying to figure out what you’re doing and changing plans on the fly
Unfortunately having played a couple other versions of Fluxx, I think the Doctor Who one is probably my least favourite to play, the theming sort of constricts it a bit, and it doesn’t have some of the stupid charm that something like the pirate version did
I have the Fluxx (including the 13th Doctor add on) and really enjoy it. I only played another version last weekend which was Star Trek TNG which didn’t seem hugely different in game play from the Who one.
I also have these classics:
And a bunch of the new series ones including:
I also have an incomplete War of the Daleks which I love (no box, Daleks and other pieces missing but it still works).
I do have a few Fluxx decks, but not the Doctor Who or Star Trek ones. I think base Fluxx, Eco, and Zombie Fluxx? It’s been a while.
I’ve got the electronic game, I’ve been meaning to play it again for some time now. Maybe this is a sign that I should dig it out.
I have that second Tom Baker one too, I’ve never played it but I do find all the knockoff characters funny
Oh I have Time of the Daleks too, it’s a fun game. Still need that 3/8/13 one and I guess the companions sets to see what that’s all about. I have another game, a Smith era trivia based game I think. Also Doctor Who Fluxx. I like board games but so rarely have anyone to play with. Sometimes I just play as all the players.
It takes absolutely AGES to set up. Battle for the Universe is a fun game too for images which don’t match the characters they’re supposed to be.
I need to get the expansions for the other Doctors and I think there’s another companion add-on. I haven’t played the companion bit yet as this was only the third time I’ve ever played the game and we were trying to remember the rules. And even then, we kept forgetting bits.
Oh wow that looks really cool!
We sometimes have board game nights but I don’t have this or any other Doctor Who board game. Maybe I should get it.
I just have Doctor Who Fluxx, and Top Trumps 
oh and a pack of Doctor Who playing cards.
It’s definitely worth it. it’s a good cooperative game with lots of elements. It’s not for the faint-hearted though. It took the three of us about 3 hours to play.
I think Time of the Daleks would be slightly better as a purely cooperative game (though, one could easily play it that way). There’s a degree of semi-cooperativeness how it can have just a single winner, and one can try to be that single winner, but the more competitive one gets, the more likely it is that everyone will end up losing. One time I was so close to the end, and left my dad out to dry one turn to maintain my lead, which resulted in Daleks happening and a tricky Dalek event getting tripped, and the Daleks won.
I’ve got some of those, but I haven’t actually used them yet because they’re still in the DWA packaging (I really should open it to read the comics inside but alas, my desire to keep things in their packaging thwarts me once again.)
Mine is also in the packaging still, but it’s a recent pack from the 60th anniversary.
If they come to life and challenge you to a game, run.
The Exterminate is MINE. You don’t have a dalek force inspired by the web series they did based on the old comics sitting in your room where you haven’t touched them for 3 years and now that I am writing this message need a repaint!
I have The Interactive Electronic Boardgame, Battle for the Universe and The Game of Time & Space. I’ve played The Game of Time & Space quite recently. It had a lot of setup but was quite fun. I’m hoping to play Battle for the Universe at some point early next year.
