Doctor Who: The Card Game

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Doctor Who: The Card Game is a licensed card game for two to four players based on the BBC television series, designed by Martin Wallace and published by Cubicle 7 Entertainment in 2012. Players act as the Doctor and his companions, each starting with a single location to protect. The deck holds attackers, defenders, locations and support cards. Attackers target particular locations and score for their owner if still in play when the game ends, defenders remove attackers so that a location's owner scores for protecting it, and support cards add abilities such as a larger bank or time points used to draw extra cards. Each turn a player passes three cards to the neighbour on their right after receiving three from the left, and the highest score wins.
