The game, now live on Kickstarter, sees one player control the Doom Slayer and faces off against an opponent commanding the hordes of Hell. Doom could be headed to your board-game collection if a new Kickstarter is funded. Just launched on Kickstarter, Doom the Arena Board Game takes one man's war on hell into a full-scale tabletop warzone. Joining Vampire Survivors as another video game-turned-board game, Doom also includes a host of hellish minitatures, but also comes in two editions, as Doom: The Dark Ages will also be available with its own assortment of distinct miniatures. Officially licensed by id Software and Bethesda, and designed in partnership with Resurrectionist Games, the campaign is developed and published by Modiphius. It's aiming for a $133,000 goal and has already raised around $50,000 at press time. "Designed to bring the DOOM experience to the tabletop, you and your friends will wield weapons and abilities pulled directly from the video games, and command a legion of iconic characters and creatures brought to life as detailed, high-quality PVC miniatures," the campaign reads. "Doom the Arena Board Game offers strategic depth through engaging, brutal gameplay. Like heavy metal chess, it's simple to learn, yet hard to master, with each piece commanding a unique style of movement and attack that demands clever tactical positioning to achieve victory." The goal seems simple: to spill the most Blood. Dealing damage serves a dual purpose and advances you toward victory. Players will battle up to three rounds, and at the end of each round, you spend Arsenal Points to upgrade your forces: the Doom Slayer can unlock more powerful weapons, while the forces of Hell can bring on bigger and more deadly units. After the best of three rounds, the side that has spilled the most Blood is declared victorious. Once funded, writing and design of the game will go on until March of next year, with manufacturing starting in June. October is looking like when the physical fulfillment will take place. Shipping and tariffs are acknowledged and included a chart giving an estimate of the shipping and any additional fees in place. "US Tariffs on Chinese goods are still an ongoing concern, however we have accounted for import duties for our US customers, so the prices shown should be the prices you pay. We will be importing the rewards into the US ourselves, and fulfilling them domestically, which means you won't be paying any tariffs or duties on top of your pledge and shipping fees." They confirm, however, they do not currently ship rewards to Russia, Belarus, or Central and South America, and those countries in conflict: Iran, Ukraine, Israel, and Sudan, but state that the list may be reviewed pending future global events. It's easy to assume that the initial goal will be reached today, with stretch goals including upgrades in quality to the cards and box details, and alternate sculpts of both Doom and The Dark Age monsters.
