Doctor Who: Don't Blink

Doctor Who: Don’t Blink

A challenging tactical board game in which up to four players control the Doctor and his companions Amy, Rory and Clara, with them attempting to collect four parts to repair the TARDIS and escape. One player takes on the role of the terrifying Weeping Angels and attempts to outmaneuver and capture them!

2-5 Players  |  30 min  |  Ages 14+

Doctor Who: Nemesis

Doctor Who: Nemesis

Play one of the Doctor’s many adversaries seeking to twist space and time to your own end. There are worlds to move, realities to destroy, time wars to win, a cyberium to find and Gallifrey itself for that matter too, paradoxes and the endless schemes of The Doctor, and The Master to unravel.

2-4 Players  |  45-90 min  |  Ages 14+

Doctor Who: Time of the Daleks (Gale Force Nine)

Doctor Who: Time of the Daleks

Each player gets to play a different Doctor. Players must work together to stop the Daleks or the Doctor may cease to exist! But you do not have to face all the monsters in the universe alone, your companions and even other Doctors will help you defeat the monsters, stop the Daleks, repair the Web of Time, and run… Seriously, there’s an outrageous amount of running involved.

2-4 Players  |  120 min  |  Ages 14+

Doctor Who - Time Clash

Doctor Who: Time Clash

The Doctor and the Daleks are locked in a desperate struggle for the fate of the universe itself.

Play cards representing plans, threats, tech, and quips to stacks that represent the time of the struggle, the Doctor’s companions and the enemy’s influence. The two sides also compete to control the Doctor’s location, which activates or deactivates crucial powers.

2-4 Players  |  30 min  |  Ages 14+

Doctor Who - The Card Game

Doctor Who: The Card Game

Daleks! Cybermen! Sontarans! The list of threats is endless and no place in the universe is ever truly safe from danger. But there’s one man who’s made it his mission to defend the defenceless, help the helpless, and save everyone he can. The Doctor!

  • Defend the universe with the Doctor and his companions!
  • Exterminate your opponents with Daleks, Cybermen and other enemies!
  • Control locations through time and space to win!
  • Use Jammy Dodgers, Sonic Screwdrivers and other clever plans to save the day!

2-4 Players  |  20-60 min  |  Ages 13+

Doctor Who Fluxx

Doctor Who FLUXX

Doctor Who Fluxx takes Fluxx through Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Join with various regenerations of the Doctor, some companions, Gallifreyan tech, and K-9 (but beware of Cybermen, Daleks, Weeping Angels, and the Master) and play the most ever-changingest, timey-wimey version of Fluxx ever created. Doctor Who Fluxx: you’ll play it time after time after time after time…

2-6 Players  |  5-30 min  |  Ages 8+

PLAY! POKÉMON

The Play! Pokémon Grassroots Program is a series of events hosted by Play! Pokémon Stores, where Pokémon fans come together as a community. Whether trading the newest cards, playing a couple of casual games, or competing in Premier Events, program participants enjoy a great time while playing the games they love.

Events are open to anyone who wants to play (or learn to play) the Pokémon Trading Card Game. We can teach you all of the basics that you need. Everybody has to start somewhere and even if you are confident in the game’s mechanics, it can still take a few games to adjust to playing people that you don’t already know. Mostly this is just a psychological hurdle, not too difficult to overcome and, when with other Pokémon fans, players generally adapt very quickly.

Parents are encouraged to play too. The kids will do all the hard work of building your deck for you, so you can join in simply by learning the basic game mechanics.

As you proceed through the various events (detailed below) the structure becomes a little more formal and the competition gets a bit stronger. Prerelease and League are simply play events. Challenge is an introduction to tournament play, and Cup events are a stepping stone to much larger competitions and venues.

All Pokémon TCG events separate players by age, loosely: <10, 11-14, and 15+. For simplicity, this is based only upon the YEAR in which you are born (so the age brackets are a little fuzzy). Each Pokemon tournament effectively runs as three separate events – provided that there are at least 4 players in each age category – and in all cases final standings are calculated for each of the three age groups individually. You may occasionally play outside of your age group, but you only compete within your age bracket.

Pokemon Prerelease logo

Prerelease events allow players to receive and play with cards from the newest Pokémon TCG expansion before the expansion’s official release date.

  • Quarterly tournament
  • New cards from the latest expansion up to two weeks before release date
  • Each Build & Battle Box contains:
    • A 40-card ready-to-play deck, including 1 of 4 alternate-art promo cards
    • 4 booster packs (10 cards and 1 basic Energy per pack)
  • Additional booster packs for all participants

Pokémon TCG Prerelease events at Clifton Road Games, Exeter:

Pokemon League logo

Pokémon League is a fun and accessible way for Pokémon fans to get together and have some fun! League events are open to all Pokémon TCG players regardless of experience level or skill. Using your own cards, you can play, trade, and even earn cool prizes! The best part is that you can do all this with other Pokémon players who love collecting and playing just as much as you do.

Pokémon League events are a great way to learn game basics and get the feel for Pokémon competitive play before beginning to compete in Pokémon tournaments.

Pokémon League runs every Friday afternoon at Clifton Road Games, Exeter. From 3pm, until 6pm for the younger players, on into the evening for older/adult players.

Pokémon TCG: Paradox Rift expansion

Event Information

Be the first to play with new Pokémon TCG cards in Pokémon TCG Prerelease tournaments.
You’ll receive a Prerelease box that includes all the cards you need to play in the event. 

  • Open for all players to enter
  • Opportunity to see cards before the official release date
  • Relaxed environment ideal for casual players
Scarlet & Violet – Paldea Evolved (Build & Battle)

Each Build & Battle Box includes a 40-card ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior sets and features one of four unique foil promo cards. It also contains four Pokémon TCG: Paradox Rift booster packs and a deck-building tip sheet. Players are allowed to modify the deck using the cards found in the booster packs.

Although they retain an element of tournament structure, prerelease events are designed to be casual events, suitable for any standard (or age) of player.

Pokémon TCG: Paradox Rift Build & Battle Kit:

  • 1 40-card ready-to-play deck
  • 4 Paradox Rift booster packs
  • 1 deck-building tip sheet

Each event lasts for about 3 hours (deck building, and 3+ rounds of approximately 30 minutes each). Entry is £25 per player, per event.

Transport

Cars: The Triangle Car Park is at the end of Clifton Road. In addition, there are 30-minute parking bays just up the road near Newtown Stores convenience shop, as well as 2-hour bays in each of the side roads off of Clifton Road (Clifton Street, Chute Street, Sandford Walk, etc). If you have an electric vehicle, there are charging points in Belmont Road (along the front of Belmont Park), on the left from the end of Clifton Road.

Bus: The nearest bus stop is Lower Summerlands at the junction of Clifton Road and Heavitree Road. The new Exeter Bus Station is only a few yards further away, by St. Sidwell’s Point Leisure Centre and the VUE Cinema (walk down past the VUE cinema, across Western Way, between Jury’s Inn and Belmont Chapel to the Triangle Car Park and then turn left past The Clifton Inn).

FOOD & DRINK

Clifton Road Games do not provide or sell food and/or drinks on the premises, but customers are welcome to bring their own.

We generally advise that gamers take specific breaks for food and drinks, rather than snacking throughout. It’s safer for the games components.

Newtown Stores is just up the road (on your left as you exit the shop), The Clifton Inn, and (across the Triangle Car Park) Dee Yi and Exe Coffee Roasters are a short distance (to the right of the shop).

Customer toilets are provided in-store. Note that these are wheelchair accessible.
