@Cunard, this game by the same company as Hobbit Tales also won an award (again ignored at AFD), so I have to wonder if it can be salvaged as well? See the last available version of the article: [1] BOZ (talk) 14:46, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BOZ (talk · contribs). Here are some sources about the subject:

The article notes: "Doctor Who: The Card Game (2nd Edition) Two to Four players compete in this card-based territory control game. Using cards portraying the TARDIS crew or iconic enemy alien races, the aim is to defend or conquer locations like the Ood Sphere or Torchwood Tower. Fans of the modern era will want to pick up the second edition of the game that expands to include the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Doctors and their favorite companions."

The review notes: "In our playtests, the game was fun, engaging and filled with discussions and numerous finger-pointing moments as the strategy of the game unfolded. The biggest weakness is that when certain cards are played, it is nearly impossible to gather enough other cards to counter the stronger card. None the less the game is enjoyable, but not quite as dynamic and personal as the role-playing game itself. A worthwhile and amusing diversion."

The article notes: "The Cubicle 7 team were at the UK Games Expo and Origins Game Fair (US). At the events they showed off their new game which turned out to be a new Doctor Who Card Game. ... Game Trade Magazine #148 also reported on this release, with the following description: "Daleks! Cybermen! Sontarans! The list of threats is endless and no place in the universe is ever truly safe from danger. But there's one man who's made it his mission to defend the defenseless, help the helpless, and save everyone he can. A mysterious stranger. A force of nature who has seen his own planet die. A madman with a box. Created by award-winning designer Martin Wallace, defend the universe as the Doctor and his companions in the Doctor Who Card Game/ Scheduled to ship in August 2012.""

The article notes: "Doctor Who: The Card Game is a more competitive affair, with cards representing Defenders (recent Doctors and their companions), Enemies (including Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels), Locations (such as Akhaten and Torchwood Tower) and various Support cards. Our favourite among these is the Jammie Dodger, which automatically defeats an attack."
