As the world’s favourite Time Lord celebrates fifty years on TV screens, innovative games company, Winning Moves UK, is releasing a range of licensed games to help celebrate Doctor Who’s landmark half-century.

Fans of the hit BBC sci-fi drama can test their time travelling knowledge with a brand new anniversary edition of Trivial Pursuit, indulge in strategic battles between five Dalek armies in a specially reworked version of classic board game, Risk, and enjoy six exclusive new Top Trumps packs in a Doctor Who edition of Top Trumps Turbo. There’s also a 1000-piece collector’s jigsaw which has been commissioned to mark the 50th Anniversary.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Trivial Pursuit (RRP £9.99, ages 12+, available from September 2013)

Do you know your Daleks from your Cybermen? Rose from Martha? Or which Doctor had a stick of celery with him at all times? Then Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit is the game for you! Packed with 600 questions to challenge even the biggest Doctor Who fan, this Trivial Pursuit edition requires no board and can be carried around in its bite-size wedge case.

Doctor Who Risk (RRP £34.99, ages 10+, available from October 2013)

In this brand new edition of Risk, multiple Dalek armies descend from the skies, seeking an ancient artefact that will enable them to conquer the galaxy. Play as one of five different armies, either classic or New Dalek Paradigm and wipe the opposition out as you invade Earth seeking the ancient weapon. Only once all opposition has been wiped out can you begin the search – will you be the last Dalek army left? As you fight for supremacy, the Doctor will do his best to stop you, then the battle is over and all Daleks must retreat as the Oncoming Storm saves the Earth. With special power cards to boost your forces or destroy your plans, and special missions to defeat other invading forces, this game of Risk is an epic battle for control of the Earth…and the universe.
