Doctor Who: Solitaire Story Game (Second Edition)

About this board game

Doctor Who: Solitaire Story Game (Second Edition) is a free print-and-play paragraph-booklet adventure for one player, designed to take about 45 minutes. You assume the role of the Doctor, guiding a new regeneration of the Time Lord through an unfolding threat somewhere in the universe.

Play uses four booklets—Rules, Adventures, Enemies, and Events—along with two six-sided dice. An adventure begins when the TARDIS lands in a location such as modern-day London, Sherwood Forest, or the distant planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius.

Choose actions such as Explore and Investigate, then follow references from the Adventure book to paragraphs in the Events book. These encounters help you gather Allies and discover the plots in progress before the Enemy is revealed.

• Explore different locations through a paragraph-booklet format.
• Gather Allies and investigate events as the story develops.
• Reveal an Enemy and discover how to uncover its dastardly Goal.
• Use new actions, including Plan and Research, to prepare for the final confrontation.

Once the Enemy is known, the game opens up further options for planning, researching, and attempting to defeat the threat. You must reveal and defeat the Enemy within 12 turns; if you fail, the Doctor is killed, and the next regeneration may have to do better.

The second edition of Doctor Who: Solitaire Story Game is being developed with material from the first edition and selected expansions, plus 12th Doctor material and entirely new content. It is an unofficial, fan-made project created by SC Games as a labour of love, with related Doctor Who properties used without permission.
