Sometimes, there is a marriage of a board game and a television show that works perfectly together. That is the case with Doctor Who and the classic board game Guess Who.
Remember the old board game Guess Who? Chances are, it was a game that you played as a child, and, if you are like me, a game that you enjoyed immensely. For those unfamiliar with it, Guess Who was a guessing game, where you had to figure out who your opponent was by guessing if they had various features or articles of clothing. Trust me, it was a lot more fun than it sounds.
In a way, Guess Who and Doctor Who would be a perfect pairing. With the various incarnations of the Doctor, and his many different companions, there are any number of possibilities in a Doctor Who themed guessing game. It is a pairing that begs to be created.

Fortunately, one fan did create such a game. Using the Doctors and companions from the new incarnation, as well as other fan favorites, a Doctor Who themed version of Guess Who has been brought into existence. Here, one can guess whether or not their opponent is the Ninth Doctor, John Simm’s version of the Master, or even our favorite psychotic potato, Strax. Although, picking Strax may be troublesome if your opponent leads off by asking if you look like a spud.
For those who want their own copy of the game, it is unfortunately not for sale. However, in the linked article, there is a Youtube tutorial for those who want to create their own Doctor Who themed game. It may take a bit of time to put everything together and find the images, but in the end, it would be worth it.
