Table Battles: Doomed

Game design: Amabel HollandHex Number: 79Duration: 45 minutesPlayers: 2Solitaire Suitability: HighTheme: All of human historyMSRP: $35.00 This is an expansion. You need the Table Battles base game to play it. In this radical reimagining of Amabel Holland’s popular Table Battles series, players fight a series of short, snappy battles that are forgone conclusions. One side brings to bear overwhelming advantages while the other struggles to stave off certain doom as long as possible. Eventually, they will weaken. Inevitably, they will break. There is, mechanically speaking, no way for the doomed side to prevail – no victory condition at all,, and no way for the other side not to achieve theirs. But it’s not about that. It's about how hard you fight when you know you’re going to lose. During each battle, the doomed side will score points – a running tally that carries over from one scenario to the next. If by the end of the third battle they’ve hit a certain threshold, they win the game. B
