Doctor Who Family Game Night

I have been a huge Whovian for many years now. It’s so great to be able to share a fandom with the hubs and kids & make many family moments out of it. That’s why I’ve put together a guide for Doctor Who Family Game Night.

Doctor Who Family Game Night

Doctor Who exploded when they brought it back in 2005 with the 9th Doctor, played by Christopher Eccleston. This was when I was truly introduced to the BBC show and have been hooked ever since. Eccleston did an amazing job as the Doctor, as did all 13 of them so far.

If you aren’t familiar with the Doctor Who story, it’s a British sci-fi TV show that first started in 1963.  The Doctor is a Time Lord – a space and time-travelling humanoid alien. He explores the universe in his TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space), a sentient time-travelling space ship. On the outside it appears as a blue British police box, which was a common sight in Britain in 1963 when the series first aired. Accompanied by companions, the Doctor combats a variety of foes, while working to save civilizations and help people in need.

We have also watched the previous 8 Doctors (1963-1989, 1996) and every one holds a special place in our hearts. This is basically true for all Whovians. Everyone has their most special and favorite Doctor. The hubs, Son, & I love the 11th Doctor, played by Matt Smith. The girls love the 10th, played by David Tennant, and he seems to be the most popular across the Whoniverse.

Here is a collection of Doctor Who themed games that will delight any Whovian in your life!
