Description

Doom of the Eldar is a classic science fiction wargame that drops you into a desperate battle for control of an ancient Eldar craft world spaceship. As one of two players, you'll take on the role of either the defending Iyanden Eldar or the invading Tyranids, each with your own unique goals and strategies. The Eldar player must use their cunning and advanced technology to hold off the Tyranid horde, while the Tyranid player must use brute force and sheer numbers to overwhelm their opponents. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of around 120 minutes, Doom of the Eldar is a game that's easy to dive into but challenging to master. The game's mix of area movement, dice rolling, and secret unit deployment creates a thrilling and unpredictable experience, while the ratio/combat results table adds a layer of strategy and depth. Designed by Jervis Johnson and first published in 1993, Doom of the Eldar has become a beloved game among science fiction and wargame fans, and its blend of excitement and complexity makes it a must-play for anyone looking for a challenging and engaging tabletop experience.
