Alien Armies


Doctor Who Alien Armies is a series of Doctor Who Trading Cards, released by Panini UK in October 2009. The set was designed to be a thorough re-design of the Battles in Time cards which, due to the price, failed to attract the wanted audience. Packs of cards cost 50p, with each pack containing six cards. Starter packs were available, containing a collector's binder, gameboard & rules, four packets of cards, and at certain stores, a limited edition card. Collector Tins, containing 60 cards, were available from The Entertainer and Toys 'R' Us, each containing a limited edition card.

There are 266 cards to collect:

A further six limited edition cards were printed but, due to lack of interest in exclusive cards, were not distributed.

The Cards are categorised under five categories:

The card categories come into play when the cards are used on the gameboard. There are a total of 20 equipment cards, plus an even number of Villain and Ally cards. Each card shows a specific value for use in the game, the card with the highest value always wins the round.
