Players each receive a deck of cards and attempt to win all of their opponent's cards. Each card features characters or events from the Doctor Who universe and has statistics which define its strengths and weaknesses. Players choose which of these statistics will be higher than their opponent's card, the winner keeps both cards and play continues.
The game features two modes: adventure mode, where the player competes against AI controlled opponents, and a versus mode where two players go head-to-head.
Reception
The game currently holds a 53 percent rating from Metacritic based on 6 reviews. Eurogamer gave it a 7/10 rating, saying it was nicely done with enough data to please fans of the TV show while having not mucked about with the classic Top Trumps gameplay.
