Modiphius Entertainment has a pair of DOOM™ Board Games coming to Kickstarter later this year. Doomslayers, cue the music.
Get ready for a bloody good time because DOOM is coming to a tabletop near you. Modiphius Entertainment has announced that they are developing a pair of board games for the franchise.

Coming to Kickstarter later this year, Modiphius will offer backers two editions of the board game: DOOM | Arena Board Game, based on the original DOOM (1993) video game, and the DOOM: The Dark Ages | Arena Board Game, based on the latest critically acclaimed title in the franchise, DOOM: The Dark Ages. Both games will use the same ruleset, and the campaign will include a variety of expansions covering enemies found in both games, including an Atlan mech and the Mecha Dragon.
DOOM | Arena Board Game and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Arena Board Game will offer a quick-to-learn competitive game, where players face off as either the DOOM Slayer or the demonic hordes and rip and tear across a variety of battlefields. Featuring a host of devastating weapons and monstrous demons drawn directly from the seminal series, players will battle across three rounds with increasing stakes, decorating the hex-based arena with their opponent’s gibs!
DOOM is Coming
Well now, that does sound promising! While we don’t have any additional official images we do know that the game is going to be shown off very soon. Next week infact! Modiphius will be offering demos of early versions of the games at both GenCon and QuakeCon this year! With GenCon happening next week, it’s sure going to be a Doomslayer-filled good time!
Now, if you’re interested in staying up to date on this one you can sign up for their newsletter. As a fan of DOOM since the early 90s I definitely want to check this one out. It’s been described as “heavy metal speed chess” and I sure am curious about that!
I’m also looking forward to seeing if these components are interchangeable between the two editions. Since both systems are using the same ruleset, I don’t see why not. But I haven’t even seen it in person yet so I guess we’ll find out next week!
Rip and Tear!
