Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Unusually for this type of board game, in this game, to reach the end you have to roll the exact number of spaces to land on the TARDIS and win the game.
- Whether it is Dr Who who is trying to get back to the TARDIS is ambiguous; he is shown in an illustration at the top of the game, but is not referenced in text. Whether the players trying to compete against each other to reach the TARDIS are diegetic is likewise ambiguous.
