What Our Customers Say
Based on customer reviews on Amazon
"I usually buy a new game for the family at Christmas and this one's a winner. Easy to set up, fair for all abilities as long as the age is above 8 I would say. Sometimes answers could be a bit smutty if you're in an adult environment but very easy to keep it a clean game."
Jojo
"I purchased this as a gift for my brother in law. We've grown accustomed to watching the show together as a family and I knew I needed to buy the game. We've had a few games now and it's always good fun! It is a perfect duplication of the tv show and even my 5 year old daughter managed to play it with us. In fact, she did better than some of us!"

About Blankety Blank
Blankety Blank first graced British television screens in 1979, introduced by the late, great Terry Wogan on BBC One. The format - adapted from the American game show Match Game - became an instant hit with UK audiences thanks to its simple premise, cheeky humour, and the infamous Blankety Blank chequebook and pen. The show went on to be hosted by comedy legend Les Dawson, and later by Lily Savage - the iconic alter ego of Paul O'Grady - cementing its place as a beloved fixture in British entertainment history.
Big Sky Games, specialists in officially licensed UK TV show board games, brought the magic of Blankety Blank from the studio to the living room. Known for creating accessible, high-quality tabletop experiences based on Britain's favourite programmes, the team developed this edition to capture everything fans love about the original - the quick wit, the unexpected matches, and the inevitable chaos when answers are revealed.
Faithful to the Original
The board game faithfully recreates the show's format across three rounds: Blankety Blank, Super Match, and Head to Head. Players fill in missing words, compare answers, and score points for matching - just like the panellists on screen. With 180 double-sided prompt cards, dry wipe boards, and even a prize spinner, every session delivers fresh combinations and plenty of laughs.
Suitable for ages 8 and up and designed for 3-6 players, the game works equally well at family gatherings, parties, and nostalgic game nights. The rules teach in minutes, making it easy for mixed ages and newcomers to jump straight into the fun.
