About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an intergalactic adventure with Clue: Doctor Who! Instead of a mysterious murder in a mansion, here you and your friends embark on a mission to rescue the Doctor from the clutches of the Daleks. Taking on the roles of loyal companions like Clara Oswald, River Song, and even Commander Strax, you must uncover who was controlled by the Daleks to mislead the Doctor, what sinister weapon was used, and where the Doctor was taken. With each dice roll, you move across the board, gathering clues and using your memory to eliminate suspects. But beware, as Intrigue cards can change the game at any moment, with some granting players special abilities and others potentially even hastening the game's end. The game brings a special touch for Doctor Who fans, with references and characters they love, while maintaining the essence of the classic Clue, but with a breathtaking science fiction theme. It's a great choice for those who enjoy mystery, deduction, and, of course, the Doctor Who universe, with rules adapted even for two players and unique abilities for each character.
