I was just looking at Board Game Geek and came across a new game coming out in August:

Yes for all you Doctor Who fans a new card game! And what is even better…. it is designed by Martin Wallace.

So it is a double bonus if you are like me…love the Doctor and Martin’s games (Automobile, Brass, Discworld Ankh Morpork, London, A Few Acres of Snow…..)
Welll, that was completely unexpected.
Color me intrigued. This may be the first Wallace game I actually play, instead of thinking ”I might play that if the opportunity arose.”
Wait! I played Automobile at Chuckmas once, so I’ve already broken the Wallace barrier.
Some more info…. this guy got a chance to play test the Doctor Who Card game. Looks interesting…and the theme is not just pasted on!

Just going by the reputation of his games, I would not have pegged Wallace as a Doctor Who fan.
The differences in opinion between that demo report and some people on the game’s BGG forum are kind of amusing.
I would not have pegged him as a Disc World fan either.
I was hoping this might have been a game where you the players could play different incarnations of the Doctor. Apparently it is based on the 11th Doctor. (Not a bad Doctor!) Hopefully it does well and we get some of the older, classic, Doctors…(Peter Davison anyone?)
Yeah, if this one takes off, they might do sets for the classic Doctors.
’Til then, there’s still the unauthorized Doctor Who CCG. All the Doctors you could hope for!
