Throughout season 5 of The Greys we’ve been celebrating 50 years of Doctor Who, and although the actual anniversary has been and gone, our season isn’t over yet.
This isn’t the first ‐ or even the second — board game related comic strip we’ve done. Unfortunately, however, this one may not travel particularly well as “Guess Who” has, at the time of writing, only ever been released in Britain and the USA.
EDIT: Thanks to a comment left by Sami, I’ve since discovered that the game has been released in various other countries, but under localised names. As the joke largely relies on “Guess Who” suggesting a game about “Doctor Who” I still don’t think it will travel particularly well, but it should do better than I originally thought.

Dalek: No.
Dalek: Has yours got a Northern accent?
Cyberman: No
Cyberman: Did yours cruelly and maliciously attempt the genocide of your entire race?
Dalek: Yes!
Dalek: Does yours wear a scarf?
Cyberman: No…
[Final scene shows they are playing a Doctor Who themed game of "Guess Who"]
Very funny!
The game has been published much more widely. For example the Finnish version is called “Arvaa kuka”
That’s good to know, thanks.
I was basing my information on its Wikipedia entry, but it looks like that only really refers to the versions sold as “Guess Who”. Going through the list of language links at the side of the Wikipedia page (including the Suomi entry) does confirm that it’s been released more widely that I realised, albeit under localised names.
