Doom the Boardgame

[series]

Does anyone know if this is out yet? I pre-ordered it 2 months ago, and it said "Release Date: November". Then, before Christmas, I checked, and it said "Release Date: December". This is ridiculous!

[Da Black Gobo]

I was told in was release in the states on the 22nd of December. That said, the place I mailordered my copy from stated the send it to me on the 28th of this month.

So did you get yours yet? I don't know if your saying it came in on the 28 or you were supposed to on the 28th...

[Da Black Gobo]

NO, not yet. I was sent a email on the 28th that it had been sent, so I am expecting it any day now. I'll let you know when I recieve it.

This game is out now. It was on the shelf at one of my gaming stores.

I'm waiting for someone to tell me how it is before I even think about buying it.

My favourite shop have an entire shelf full of Doom copies, but I don't think I'll buy it.

So are you like, scared of the game or something? Don't want nightmares? :D

Yes I'm terribly frightend of paying 50 bucks for the parts in the game that looked like cheap cardstock.

Doom Memory:

I used to play my cousin in doom II across an old 28.8 modem.

I tricked him into following me through the "barrels of fun" level. I teleported into that hallway lined with toxic barrels. I typed bye, waited for him to teleport then ignited the barrels. I still remember him having time to type AAAAAAHHHHHH as the explosion moved his way.

LOL

...I should be playing it tomm night (I should receive it any minute now from UPS)- the BGG reviews look pretty good!- :p

The card stock is very thick. Much thicker than Space Hulk and games like it. The heavy card stock is printed well, in the manner of many euro games with a satin finish.

FYI: I received the game in the mail today. I was impressed. Easy to learn, easy to play with many interesting tactical options.

I got mine in today. Awesome stuff! Can't wait to figure it out/create house rules!!!

[holywolfman]

Yes...this is a COOL game! Great components... This is definately Heroquest meets Space Hulk! (but much BETTER!!!)- ;)

...I think it is much more fun to play the marines...but it is also cool to wipe out the marines as well...challenging for both sides!

[series]

I want to try out the first scenario tonight (probably not campaign tonight, how long does that take for the marine to win?)

Let me guess... you don't own A&A Revised?

btw, I got mine for $40 with 2 day shipping :D

I just played it and it's an awesome game.

I want to post a pic later comparing a German Tank, German Infantry, Space Marine, Demon, and Cyber Demon later.

Good to know I was wrong...

I'll have to pick it up. Is it really cool combat?

[Da Black Gobo]

It give the feel of a run and gun, move it or lose it style of play. Yet, it does have IMO a few issues in balance. But, I hear the designer is already at work making a difficultly level device to address that issue.

While I do enjoy it, I keep going back to my favorite, the 1st edition of Space Hulk with the Deathwing expansion. I enjoy the desperate small unit, hold at all cost kind of action in that game better.

It's insane. My friend, the marine, was absolutely shocked- my giant demon with machine guns for hand was chasing him down a narrow hallway, and on the other end was fire throwing zombies. His shotgun just wasn't going to cut it...

[series]

Heres a little house rule I thought up: When a Marine dies, the guns he had when he died are dropped at the location where he died.

Does that sound good? I was also thinking something like, for every wound you get, roll a die, and if it's a miss, your armor is destroyed?

[Beast1313131]

Doom is the best. although i have not gotten the board game yet, i have played all three and it is awesome stuff. It is just a matter of time before i get the boardgame. sounds good though.

Do the marines EVER lose their weapons once they are picked up?
