DOOM the Boardgame is a lot like the old Space Hulk Game. One player takes the role of the Invader/DM, and the other players take the Marines. The map gets built as the Marines open up new areas, and the Invader player can play cards to do various things, such as spawning in new monsters, causing ammo loss, activating monsters out of turn, etc. Marines each get a number of special abilities, and can get more armour, better weapons, ammo, etc. by collecting it on the board. Combat is simple, and different weapons are better at certain ranges, or have a higher chance of wasting ammo. DOOM is like playing a simple game of D&D with BFG's, but the main objective is not to collect loot, but to escape. I have played the game a few times, and with the right crowd, it is a lot of fun.
