Doom of the Eldar

About this board game

Doom of the Eldar is a two-player wargame for a playing time of approximately 120 minutes, released in 1993 as part of the Wargame Series by Games Workshop.

The game presents a conflict between the Iyanden Eldar and the invading Tyranids. One player takes the role of the Iyanden Eldar, defending their craft world spaceship, while the other commands the Tyranids.

The central objective is clear: the Tyranid player must try to take over the craft world within the designated number of turns. This gives the game a defined time frame and places the invasion at the heart of the contest.
