About the Game

Based on the popular Dr Who baddies "War of the Daleks" is a kind of sci-fi Space-Ludo with Daleks!

The game involves moving card Dr Who figures around a circular playing area aiming to get to the "control center" whilst avoiding the Daleks. The Daleks themselves are faithful plastic renditions about three quarters of an inch tall, inserted into concentric slots cut into the board. When the pale blue "control centre" hub in the middle of the board is rotated, the card disc underpinning these concentric slots also rotate, causing the Daleks to move around the board and "capture" hapless players.

If a player makes it to the central hub, they have a chance to destroy the control centre by lifting it up. Doing so reveals four panels one of which depicts the "King Dalek." If he's next to you he exterminates you and you start again!
