The Doctor Who Collectible Card Game is an out-of-print collectible card game published in 1996 by MMG Ltd and is based on the British television series Doctor Who. A total of 301 cards were released in the main set, plus 1 additional promotional card. Gameplay The Doctor Who Collectible Card Game is a game in which two players face off as Time Lords, and each plays creatures and resources in three time zones - past, present and future - using them to battle their opponents' creatures and destroy their Time cards, which represents a player's life energy. When all the Time cards are destroyed, that player loses. The game was described as playing three Magic: the Gathering games simultaneously. Reception Andy Butcher reviewed The Doctor Who Collectible Card Game for Arcane magazine, rating it a 4 out of 10 overall. Butcher comments that "The rules and mechanics of the game are derivative, borrowing heavily from Magic: The Gathering and a few other combat-based games. The card design is poor, with a tacky 70s style font, garish colours and some low-quality computer graphics. The idea of three battlefields is a good one, but other than that, Doctor Who has little to recommend it." According to Jane Frank, InQuest magazine reviewed it as the worst CCG ever, at that time.
