Taskmaster Board Game by Ginger Fox

We did the taskmaster charity thing over Christmas (where you donated for a series of video challenges that can be played remotely) and it was amazing but it also made us realised that most of the tasks included in the board game version can be played remotely over Zoom/Teams etc too. You'll need to be a bit flexible and the Taskmaster will need to just skip the task if it's something that needs you to be in the same room together. Likewise some of the secret tasks won't work remotely but you can just discard it until you get one you can do etc. It's a format that for the most part works brilliantly remotely and many of the tasks are better as you aren't all in the same kitchen fighting for space (and bread , cereal and ketchup etc!)No mater if you are playing in the same house or doing it remotely it's a fantastic board game and easily one of the best £20 we've spend on a game - it's one of the classic games in our household, up there with Dobble, Frustration and Pass The Pigs because it's as much fun for our 11 year old daughter as it is for us.One thing to note is that your enjoyment of the game is definitely proportional to the effort you put in - if you throw yourself into the tasks and want to have fun you will, and it's very true that you get back what you put in with this game. If you want to have fun playing this you really will, and it's provided some of the biggest laughs during lockdown.A must for fans of the show then, and still a brilliant purchase even if you aren't but want a brilliant game that the whole family can enjoy either in person or remotely over the internet.

super tolles Geschenk für Fans der Sendung, für kleinere Gruppen ist das Buch empfehlenswerter

The Taskmaster Boardgame was a lifesafer during lockdown. The tasks are easy to prepare and great fun to do! A must-have for all true fans of the TV-Show!

I've had this game for a couple of weeks now and played it twice with two separate groups of people. I enjoyed it both times and my kids absolutely loved it!You take it in turns to be 'The Taskmaster'. You pick a card and read the task for everyone else to attempt, then you give them points according to how well they did. The task cards are in four categories (Kitchen, Living Room, Lab and Garden - rooms from the house in the TV show) and this gives you a rough idea of the sort of thing you'll be doing. There are also secret tasks that each participant attempts to complete without anyone knowing until the end of the game. Finally, there's the final task. These cards have a QR code which you scan with your phone and the link takes you to a video of Little Alex Horne setting you the last task which is a fun way to finish! (There are also printed final tasks in case you can't scan the QR code)The game is suitable for a range of ages. It's well made, well thought out and includes fun little features like a set of little wipe-clean portrait frames for each player to draw themselves on and keep track of the scores.If you're a fan of the TV show or the book, you'll enjoy this game.If you haven't seen the TV show or the book (why not?) you will enjoy this game if you don't mind getting stuck in, having fun and attempting hilarious challenges for the entertainment of yourself and others.

Wer die show kennt wird nicht enttäuscht sein und wer sie nicht kennt wird sie nach dem ersten mal spielen schauen.was ich mir gewünscht hätten wären zutaten liste oder eine markierung auf den karten wie aufwendig die karten zu spielen sind. wenn einige karten sich mit bleistift auf papier umsetzt lassen und ich für anderen den garten umgraben muss, dann wirkt das ganze nicht so balanciert und lädt einige leute einfach nur den meinsten dreck zu machen. wenn ein set für ruhige regentage und eins für sommer sonne sonnenschein gäbt, wäre das super.ansonsten schließe ich mich aber allen 5 sterne reviews an :)
