Doctor Who Board Game

Product Information

Gameplay continues until all of the Repair Parts have been returned to the Tardis by the Heroes or if the Angel player captures all the heroes and steals their lifetimes. Don’t Blink cards have to be discarded when revealed by the Angel player, which makes it harder for Heroes as the game continues. Game Experience: On the other hand, every ’hero’ player wins if their team succeeds, since in theory they can be rescued once the Tardis is repaired, though if you really want to trust your fate to a time machine that’s been patched up by Rory, that’s your look-out. The Doctor has to use what is left of the TARDIS' telepathic circuits to break the Laws of Time and enlist the assistance of her former incarnations and numerous travelling companions.

Final Score: 4 Stars – Dive into the world of Doctor Who and the Weeping Angels in this one-versus-many cooperative game. The game comes with miniature Daleks, Davros, Tardis and Doctor figures. They are of a decent standard and paintable if you want to. The Doctors included are the first (William Hartnell), fourth (Tom Baker), 11th (Matt Smith) and 12th (Peter Capaldi). The game was originally going to include the fifth and 10th doctors too, but they were taken out a few months before release to lower the price to make it more accessible. In my playthroughs so far, this game would overall not be good with more than two players, even though you can play up to five. 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. Absolutely would not recommend this in a random group at a meetup unless you were in the mood for a headache. I haven’t tried any of the other difficulty levels yet but I appreciate that the rulebook gives you options on how to ensure that gameplay is not stale and also provides bragging rights to anyone that likes to master these kinds of games. Final Thoughts:That accessibility underpins the whole game. There were probably two ways this could have gone – a big, Nemesis-style starship-crawler with dozens of meticulously detailed miniatures and a choice of Tardis crews, or something altogether more affordable.

Don’t Blink is for anyone wanting a new and challenging experience that feels balanced throughout. The gameplay is full of puzzles, almost minigames, on how to navigate the limitations and powers of both roles. However, if you’re not prepared to go to mental or tactical war with your friends, sadly I would not recommend this game to play, even with strangers. I don’t suspect that gameplay will become stale as player count and even difficulty modes can provide a new experience and replayability. The company’s pedigree is good, with Spartacus, Sons of Anarchy and the mighty Firefly held up of examples of good TV show board games, so what could go wrong… Inside the BoxIt’s delightfully simple: anyone who’s watched a couple of episodes of the show, especially during Smith’s tenure, will grasp the idea at once. Yes, in possibly the most British game mechanic of all time, you can only keep the Angels at bay with a hard stare. Brilliantly, this weakness extends to Angels looking at each other; presumably, they live their whole lives desperately avoiding each other’s gaze, like passengers on the tube. The Tardis console sheet, which is where the player puts equipment, tokens and companions, is a disappointment to put it mildly. It is thin and easy to tear, and, considering that it is integral to the player experience, should have been of a similar quality to the Time Board at least. I laminated mine before first play to make sure that they weren’t ruined- they are that flimsy!

Doctor Who Board Games are a collection of tabletop games based on the popular British science fiction TV series. These games allow players to immerse themselves in the world of the Doctor, travelling through time and space to defeat enemies and complete missions. Each game has its own unique gameplay mechanics and objectives, but all feature beloved characters and creatures from the show. 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. Don’t Blink is a one-versus-many game for 2 to 5 players that takes about 45 minutes to play. The best experience is with three players for challenging gameplay without the co-op infighting. Gameplay Overview: Upon opening, you realise that the components are a bit of a mixed bag. The dice are nice and colourful. The tokens are very "tokenish" and the main board, or Earth and Web of Time Board as it is snappily titled, is chunky enough to give it a feel of quality. The cards are a little on the thin side, and I recommend sleeving them as they will see a fair bit of wear and tear.

TV’s favourite Time Lord takes on the Lonely Assassins in this new game from Gale Force Nine, and Don’t Blink makes some bold choices from the outset. While GF9’s other Doctor Who board game, Time of the Daleks, draws on the show’s near-60 years of history and makes use of its most enduring alien foes, this entry is laser-focused.

Travelling through the Time Vortex, the TARDIS is hit by a Time Spiral, outlawed technology which has been reactivated by the Daleks. Zatu has an excellent range of games and for most of them the best prices too. Delivery is always fast and I have never received a game in bad condition. 10/10 would recommend. In Don’t Blink you need to decide which team you want to be on: the Weeping Angels (one player) or the Heroes (up to four players). The Heroes are The Doctor, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, and Clara Oswald, each with their own unique power. The game map is modular and creates a 3×3 grid with almost labyrinthian passages. Everyone chooses where they will start on the board before gameplay begins. When you move to a location and have an adventure, it feels like an episode of the show and when you get Amy and Rory matched with Matt Smith’s Doctor, there is a little thrill. It’s hard to explain, but it feels like the show and if you are a fan, you’ll love it. I even swapped the Daleks for Cybermen from the Warlord exterminate miniatures game to vary it a bit. I can see the expansions adding to the enjoyment with new companions and locations, prolonging the life of the game.
