Doomlings Review
8Doomlings is a game about playing cards that make up the genome of an evolving species before the end of the world. Mother nature is not most gentle of parents however, so you naturally have the ability to affect and screw over competing species while building your apex Doomling.
Doomlings is a very simple game, and anyone who has watched or read any of my reviews knows that I tend to favor more complicated and complex games. In fact, I even turned down a review copy of Doomlings in the past.
However, Doomling has always held some magnetism for me. I'm a sucker for variety laden card games and the uniqueness of the various Doomlings depicted on the cards always drew me to it. So I caved in, decided to review it, and I found what I expected. A very lightweight card game, but one I think is worth playing.
