How to Play Doomlings 

randomly bought this card game at barnes and noble seems complex through the instructions but once explained, very simple

There are other contextual cards like this so read them carefully. When you're in the swing of things mix it up! Play with more ages before the world ends, Play with 13 ages and one random catastrophe at the bottom, or come up with your own house ruleset Notes: While you can use this as a cheat sheet for learning the game, this is mostly for refreshing the rules midgame or teaching someone else the game. I definitely recommend watching the full video (use 2x speed if your attention span is shorter)

It's a great game. I just got mine yesterday and enjoyed a game with my sister and dad. The most complex game they play was spades, so it was fun introducing them to cards that aren't regular playing cards

an ad for this game just came up while i was on my computer and i couldn't stop looking it up

Got mine today. We already played some rounds. This game is wonderful. I bought the gold edition. It’s very easy to understand and play. The basics are so easy that they fit on two sides of a playing card for easy reference as you play. The simplicity of the general rules allows the cards themselves to truly shine. They add more than enough complexity and strategy to keep things fresh and interesting. You basically just play the card and do what it says without esoteric rules bogging the game down. This is super underrated and I hope it eventually gets the recognition it deserves. It’s perfect for any kind of couple or group looking for a quick and simple game to play. Doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran like me or a beginner to tabletop like my wife. Anyone can, and will, enjoy their time with this.

Had a blast playing this over the weekend. Thanks for the rule video. We watched it before we played and it was super helpful. It's well made.

I got the Hyperintelligence holofoil card this weekend when my Doomlings game box was delivered to my house. Seeing the card felt like a good omen after a long weekend of studying for midterms. :D

Amazing game! Although appears slightly difficult at first, within the first game everything makes sense. Definitely recommending and definitely buying the expansion packs.

Great game and super helpful how to play video! Easy to follow and made teaching a roomful of people how to play a cinch!

Can't wait to start playing

Thanks Eric I really appreciate this your soothing voice really helped me get thru this video and made me wanna buy any game the you narrate :)

Just ordered mine, can't wait for it to get here

Just played first time with my 10y old. Great fun, easy to learn

Mine just arrived at the post office! Can't wait to play!!!

Thank you some of the other vids I’ve watched on this game were confusing!

Man, I wish I had some fuckin friends.

Recently got this game! It’s soo fun!

I'm so stoked to this for the first time on Saturday!

So when is this game being turned into an app?

Christ that's a lot of prep and instructions. OK gonna try it out!

This helped a lot THANK YOU

This doesn't match the printed rules, is it out of date? Specifically the rules say the dealer and first player rotate in catastrophe

i love this game!

Amazing game, did have to order it abroad to get my hands on it. However so worth it!!

So at the end of the game, once the final catastrophe card is played, what happens to the trait cards in my hand? Do they all just go to my trait pile, and get counted towards being tallied to my points?

fun game

I got mine at Target!

Sup

Anxiously awaiting my Shipping Notification!

The cards with both the world end and raindrop symbols do these score twice - once during world end portion then again at the final scoring stage? Someone at our table thinks so stating why would some cards only have the raindrop symbol and others have both if not ? Thanks.

when a catastrophe flips over and we finish doing the effect do we play a round of traits or does dealer pass to the left and then that person immediately draw a new age card and play continues?

thank you

If your number of cards is to match your gene pool, why would you have cards in your hand? I'm a little confused on this one as we have played it recently for the first time, and seeing this video makes the whole game look so simple, until you mentioned near the end cards in your hand or your trait pile? 😅

Can't wait to get the game in my hands

Interesting game

I got lost in the first minute

You guys used to have a playthrough video, correct? What happened to that video, or where can I find it?

I still don’t get it 😭😭😭😭 help!!

Can I play two cards per turn or would that change the pace of the game too much? I think playing only one card per turn is a bit limiting for the game flow

Just a question. I received the kickstarter overlush and its amazing, but do you have any tips to manage the trait pile with the original? So many traits cant be on the table haha. And with so many cards "kidney and or Swarm" will be kind of a legendary becouse the change to pick one is 1 in 300 or so haha. Let me know, and thank you in advance

Sounds cool

I’m sold! Does anyone know if it’s available in Canadian stores? Or will I need to order online?

The ages stack reminds me of mtg

Okay, so serious question: can vampirism and optimistic nihilism effect be used once each time it's your turn?

I've watched the tutorial several times and this game looks confusing as hell, what kind of drugs were you people taking when you created this game?

What happens if you steal/swap a trait card from the trait pile that has an effect? Do you immediately apply that effect? Even if it’s an Action card?

Are the cards in the expansion pack fixed? For example, if I buy Expansion Pack A, will it have the same cards as every other Expansion Pack A? Also, Amazon says the Doomling Deluxe pack comes with 3 secret holofoil cards? What are those?

What happens if i only have 2 cards, but a catastrophe makes me discard 2. Then I have 0 cards left on my turn, do i stabilize and end my turn or can i het cards to play this turn?

will there be a german version?

When a card says play card from a discard pile, can we pick any card from discard pile? Or do we only play the too soon card on the discard pile? Thank you in advance

Can you play cards at worlds end if they have an ! Symbol or does it have to have a worlds end symbol

I'm waiting my box :P

looks like it takes longer to explain the game than to play it.

it says that effect only last for one round. Does that apply to hand swapping?

Wish I had people to play with🥺

So is this kinda like fluxx

How can I buy it in Vietnam

Any one in cali want to sell the gold box?

:0

Hey cool game that I'm never going to play because I scanned the qr code for this video and for the past 5 months I keep getting ads for this game even after blocking this ad. Wtf?! So annoying. Too bad this game looked fun. Fix your marketing it's annoying and turning people off.

Very bad tutorial.

I hate

This is an awesome tutorial! Bought the deluxe with all the expansions and only added the multi color and dinosaur expansions. The 3 others seem very complex. Any plans to make a tutorial with all expansions shuffled in?!
