Doomlings
In stock at the following stores: Games København, Games Aarhus
Somewhere on a doomed and distant planet, life has arisen and competes for supremacy until the world's inevitable destruction. The object of the game is to score the most points before the world ends. Score points by playing Traits for your Doomlings' species, making them more adaptable, resilient and mischievous. As your Doomlings assert their dominance, catastrophes will strike the planet, causing setbacks for every competing species. When the third catastrophe inevitably strikes, the world ends, and the Doomlings with the strongest set of traits get to look the apocalypse in the eye and declare ... 'I scored the most points'.
Throughout the game, players draw Trait cards from a shared pile and then play them to score points. Traits can also have special abilities and bonuses that let players build a wide range of winning combinations. The game is played in rounds with Age cards, which have different rules that the players must follow. But be warned: hidden among the Ages are catastrophes, special rounds with negative effects that force players to adapt their strategy.
Doomlings adds a fun twist to hand management by introducing the Gene Pool mechanism. Your gene pool is your hand size: it is unique to you, and it can be increased or reduced through special traits or even catastrophes. Doomlings contains 6 colourful gene pool counter cards that neatly track how many cards you should have at the end of your turn. There are ways to increase your gene pool (hand size), which can give your species a head start by providing a larger pool of traits to choose from each turn.
Doomlings is a light card game for 2-6 players that can be played casually among friends or competitively by a family of game enthusiasts. Because there are no duplicate cards and the Age cards are chosen at random, no two games are the same. Although the game itself can be learned in 5 minutes or less, do not be fooled: with 100+ unique traits - in red, blue, green, purple and colourless - and rare, powerful dominant traits, there are countless combinations to discover.
Expansion packs for advanced play are also available, including a Hidden Objective expansion that gives the game a fun twist. Doomlings requires no dice or extra pieces, just a cheerful embrace of the world's inevitable end.
