Blankety Blank (board game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blankety Blank is a board game based on the television show Blankety Blank, first published by Milton Bradley Games in 1983. Like the TV show, the object of the game is to match the "celebrities" by filling in statements with blanks. The questions and answers used in the game are from the actual TV show.

[edit] Milton Bradley Version (1983)

Starting in 1983, Milton Bradley created the first version of the game. Each edition would contain a game board, 12 Score pegs (6 Triangles and 6 Circles), game booklets (with instructions) with material for 84 complete games (336 Main Game Questions and 84 "Super Match" and "Head-to-Head Match" questions), two mini boards and crayons (only of the Head-to-Head portion), felt cleaner, and play money.

[edit] Rules

Just like the show, two players have two chances to match as many of the six "celebrities" as possible. Celebrity answers are printed in the booklets, and after the player gives her answer, the MC reads the celebrity responses one by one, marking correct answers on the game board. A player can get up to six matches in one game. The player with the most matches gets to play the "Super Match" round (the MC simply reads the question and the responses) for a chance to win money (with an "Audience Match" and a "Head-to-Head Match" not like the UK version; however, similar to the American Version of the show Match Game as the Milton Bradley in the USA did 3 editions of that version from 1974 - 1978); so a person can with 5,000 pounds.
