Doom: The Board Game is the most beloved Board Game I have. Kevin Wilson's 2004 survival classic is one of the most authentic video to board game creations i've ever played. For the Marines, each game is a nail biter as instead of dungeon exploration and the collection of loot your goal is to escape Mars base alive. Today Fantasy Flight dropped news that they are rebooting Doom the Board Game with an all new design to pair up to the recent Doom remake.
"Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of DOOM: The Board Game, a completely redesigned tactical combat experience for two to five players based on Bethesdaâs blockbuster video game, DOOM.
Glory Kill your way to victory as one of the United Aerospace Corporationâs elite marines or grab control of the legions of demons threatening to take over the complex. Each side of DOOMâs asymmetrical gameplay introduces an entirely unique way to play, whether you're struggling to save Mars from being overrun by Hellâs most merciless demons or fighting to crush each marine and conquer the planet once and for all. You and up to four friends will play through a series of missions, the marines attempting to achieve a variety of objectives and the invader orchestrating a barrage of savage demon attacks against them. While the marines can respawn after death, they can only do so a set number of times before the demons claim victory over the mission, threatening not only the UACâs operation, but the survival of humanity as a whole."
It seems the biggest difference is the new Doom game is less survival run and gun and more of a tactical objective based game.
"DOOM provides two operations of six missions each for your invader and marines to battle through. Every mission takes place on a unique map and presents a different set of objectives and threat levels. The objective cards designated for each mission describe the victory conditions for both the team of marines and the invader, in addition to all associated special rules. The marineâs objectives can vary from securing the battle area to collecting valuable assets, while the invader has just one goalâto kill the marinesâŚrepeatedly. "
I'm very excited to know more about this new version as the original has a very special place in my heart and I hope this new game captures how great the original one was.

Nice! When are you inviting me over for a game? :)
I have literally never played a video to board game adaptation but this looks great.

Huh, that would actually be pretty fun. I'll think more about that.
