Fantastic game !

By II Raptor II, in DOOM: The Board Game

Read the rules, played 2 missions and absolutely love it. Its fast its action packed and its brutal. First off I love the new cover mechanic, this is what I was missing in Imperial assault. The sculpts of the minis are one of the best I have seen (cant wait to get started with painting). At the moment im fine with no campaign mode since its easier to get a few gamers together open the box set up and go slaughter some stuff.

The only 2 minor setbacks for me are the in game screenshots used for art on the marines action cards. some of them are just to dark to see what is really going on. And the lack of the hell knight as demon models.

Yet this game has so many expansion possibilities left I hope fantasy flight will consider:

- More deamons !!! Hell,knights, Summoners, spider mastermind, possessed security etc.

- More marines and the doom slayer himself (using the classic doom slayer pose for a miniature ?)

- Map tiles representing mars. At the moment we only have indoor UAC facilities and the bottoms of hell

- Companion app. Its always nice to have a solo or co op option

- Campaign mode

- Skirmish modes. Maybe to somehow represent the team deathmatch modes of doom. like 5 vs 5 marines ? the first to get 30 frags wins ! :P

- Dr. Samuel Hayden. Dont ask me how or what I just feel like this awesome dude needs to be in this game.

Just suggestions and personal opinions folks ! how are you guys enjoying the new doom boardgame ?

while i'm not opposed to having a model of Dr. Hayden, what exactly would he do? VEGA was more useful than he was

i'd really like to see Hell Knights, zombies and Hell Razers as the first set of expansions, as they are all very common in game and sad that none of them made it into the core set

spider demon, hell yes, and we'd still need the Hell Guards as well so we can get all 3 boss fights in

They probably decided not to go with zombies as it's meant to be high paced, and even in the game, the zombies are practically useless. They're slow, lumbersome and die easily. At least with Imps you can get quite a lot of use out of them, regardless of their low health and stagger value.

We probably will see Hell Knights, and we definitely will see Summoners. Hell Razers were probably left out due to their vague similarity to Possessed Soldiers but also to keep an easy balance for initial release. Hopefully we see them too.

Lost Souls are more likely to be tokens and environmental hazards than units, as their entire role is to suicide. Maybe Summoners will summon them.
