Doctor Who Weetabix Action Game

Game given away free with Weetabix Cereal.

A simple roll die and move game, with the addition of 'Action Zones' on the boards which may contain a different enemy every game that have different effects on a player who lands on them.

The objective is to get from a starting area to the Tardis first.

The game had a total of 4 different boards.

Race Through Space
With Skaro, Metebelis III & the Timelords.

Travel Through Time
With the Mandragoran Helix.

Discover the Lost Planet
With the Thals, dinosaurs and the Skarasen.

Escape from the Underworld
With Silurians and U.N.I.T.

The game also came with stand up character cards ranging from Wirrn to Krynoids. Most creatures are from the Tom Baker era of Doctor Who, with a few Jon Pertwee characters making an appearance. Such as an Exxilon & Aggedor.

These cards were placed in the 'Action Zones' and may help or hinder the players.

Forgetting the simple roll & move nature of the game, the art work by Gordon Archer was excellent. The game also had a number of monsters/characters that will not be found in the other Doctor Who games which normally come with the regular Daleks & Cybermen.

At least one of the game boards (Escape from the Underworld)was released as a seperate game by the BBC and could be found in Doctor Who Easter Show bags in Australia around 1978.
