If you’re a fan of strategic board games and classic Doctor Who, Time of the Daleks is easily one of the most enjoyable and replayable games ever produced for the franchise.
Designed by the team at Gale Force Nine, Time of the Daleks puts players in the role of the Doctor, traveling through time and space to stop the Daleks from rewriting history. The game brilliantly captures the feel of the classic series while delivering deep, engaging gameplay that appeals to both casual fans and serious gamers.
Why Time of the Daleks Stands Out
What makes this game so special is its clever mix of storytelling and strategy. Players must manage their TARDIS, recruit companions, gather resources, and complete missions across different time periods — all while racing against the Daleks, who are actively trying to corrupt history.
The game dynamics are excellent:
- Time Travel Mechanic: The innovative timeline system lets you jump between different eras, creating exciting narrative moments and tough strategic choices.
- Companion Cards: Recruiting companions adds unique abilities and flavor, making every playthrough feel different.
- Daleks as a Smart Opponent: The Dalek AI is surprisingly effective and creates constant pressure without feeling unfair.
- High Replayability: Multiple Doctors, different timelines, and branching story paths mean the game stays fresh even after many plays.
The production quality is also top-notch, with beautiful artwork, detailed miniatures, and high-quality components that really bring the Doctor Who universe to life on your table.
Important Note for Collectors
The 2nd Edition of Time of the Daleks (along with its expansions) is now out of print. Once current stock sells out, new copies will become much harder to find and significantly more expensive on the secondary market.
If you’ve been thinking about adding this gem to your collection, now is the time while copies are still available.
