DOOM: The Boardgame

Posted by michael on from the deploy-chainsaw dept.

Ant writes "And I thought I had seen it all from DOOM world. Nope, there is a boardgame! It is for 2 to 4 players, playable in 1 to 2 hours, based on the groundbreaking DOOM 3 computer game by id Software. Seen on Blue's News." There's also Frag, which IMHO isn't a very good boardgame. The Doom game looks like it might work, though.

    You just landed on Park Place, which has 2 Hell Knights, a Cyberdemon, 8 Imps, and a hotel. You owe me $1750 and a case of shotgun shells.

  7. Cheat codes by gnovos · · Score: 5, Funny

    Cheat codes:

    GOD MODE: "roll" dice by placing them down carefully on the number you want

    KILL ALL MONSTERS: Place your hand firmly on your playing pice. With the other hand grasp the playing board with your other hand and shake vigorously.

    UNLIMITED AMMO: Point behind the other players and say in a loud voice, "Hey, what the heck is THAT over there!?!?!" When other player look away to see what you are looking at, grab all unused game tokens.

    CHANGE LEVELS: With a broad sweep of your arm, clean the board. Then set up again in the configuration of the level you want to play.

    EASTER EGGS: IDDQD, many easter eggs will become hidden in your house. (This only works on Easter morning)

    They've already come out with a see-through-walls hack too, in fact, it looks like it's pre-built into the game...
