Weetabix Doctor Who Action Game (game)

The Weetabix Doctor Who Action Games were a series of collectible cards and cut-out board games which came in boxes of Weetabix. They were illustrated by Gordon Archer.

The cards which had characters on them had gameplay features which could give new obstacles and aids in the board games. Other cards featured coded messages from the Time Lords.

Boards
There were four boards for playing the action game: Race Through Space, Travel Through Time, Discover The Lost Planet, and Escape From The Underworld.

Cards
There were six possible sets of four cards. Each had three characters and one Secret Message from Time Lords.

Promotion
The Action Games were promoted by a televised Weetabix Doctor Who Action Games advert.

Legacy
For a retrospective on Weetabix in DWM 263, Adrian Salmon illustrated a new game-compatible set of four cards which included Nimon, Vervoids, and the Kandyman.

In tribute to the game, the magazine Vworp Vworp! produced an homage game called “Vworpabix” which was also illustrated by Gordon Archer.
