Object of the game

The domain of the Time Lords is threatened by invaders. The only way to avert defeat is for the Time Lords to assemble a Key of Chronos- an extremely powerful defensive weapon. Unfortunately, although there are many parts to the Key and many ways in which it can be assembled, the parts are scattered throughout time and space.
Each player is a past, present or future incarnation of Dr. Who. Each is on a mission to gather a set of key parts. To do this, they must travel the Universe, fighting enemies, gaining assistants and using scientific items. They must let nothing stand in their way, not even each other.
The winner is the first to return to the domain of the Time Lords with a Key of Chronos.

Further notes

For many years the gallant Doctor and his trusty assistants have been entertaining TV viewers of all ages in his many guises.
Now as one of the many incarnations of the Doctor, you can experience the excitement of a hunt across space for the Key of Time. En route, you will meet old enemies like the Daleks and the Cybermen- and many new ones.
You are racing to collect your combination of the Key of Chronos and return to a hero's welcome on Gallifrey. Not only must you contend with the inhabitants of the many planets you will discover, but also with the threat from the other Doctors, all intent on getting their Keys home.
To help you in this mission are many artifacts ranging from the Tardis to the legendary Jelly Babies.
Everything combines to give a fast, furious and fun game as you tread boldly where no Time Lord has gone before!
