The Union Aerospace Corporation, an arm of the most powerful conglomerate on Earth, was performing secret experiments in their base on Mars. Tapping into the very fabric of the universe itself, UAC scientists made discoveries that would forever change human existence. Then something went terribly wrong...

With Doom: the Boardgame, Fantasy Flight Games brings one of the most famous computer games of all time to the tabletop. Marine players explore darkened corridors and rooms battling imps, hell knights, archviles, and other classic DOOM® monsters, while the Monster player tries to bring them down using the legion of horrors at his command.

Doom: The Boardgame includes more than 60 finely detailed plastic miniatures, the largest of which stands approximately 80mm tall, and features weapons, monsters, and graphics taken from the best-selling DOOM 3 computer game.

Top marks to Fantasy Flight for attempting something a little different with Doom - it's a nicely customisable experience which provides quite a tense, visceral game that is aesthetically very close to the source material. Incredibly high production values mean a seriously heavy box filled with great miniatures and very well produced boards and bits, which further increases the sense of value for money that Doom provides. A brilliantly tense experience that is not for the squeamish...

Initially, when opening this game I was baffled by the sheer size of it, dozens of playing pieces, combined with what feels like hundreds of ammo, armour, weapon and upgrade tiles. Reading the manual (rather than booklet) took the best part of an hour and longer to fully understand the more complex parts. Once you understand the basics however and get into the game, everything else falls into place and my 11 year old brother grasped not only the basics, but the finer points of play within 2 hours. Limitless possibilities for level design and a hugely challenging campaign mode included within the manual mean this game will last and last. Beware though, games sould last the best part of 4 hours and that's just for one level! All we need now are some budding level designers to post them on the fantasy flight games web site...
