My kids have had an absolute blast playing Taskmaster and are always really excited to play it. I do have to be in the mood for it though. The end of game scoring is akin to games like Cards Against Humanity and Scrawl, whereby one person dictates the scores. This can sometimes not reward the effort someone has put in but if the Taskmaster listens to the majority then it isn’t as bad.
On the board are piles of tasks. Four piles each correspond to a different location – the kitchen, living room, lab, and garden. Alongside these, there are secret tasks and final tasks, meaning in all, there are 200 different task cards! Before each game, decide on how many tasks you want to complete, and then, each round, it is up to the Taskmaster to decide from which of the four location piles to choose the task. Each player will have a secret task to carry out during the whole game, and if the game ends without that task being detected, the player will get 3 bonus points. But it almost doesn’t even matter who the contestants are. If the cast is a bit underpowered, Taskmaster gets by on silly charm and on knowing the pleasures of simple games. Some of its finest moments have come from only slightly embellishing the office pastime of throwing balled-up pieces of paper into a wastebasket – and here, the best game is an old-fashioned round of hide and seek variant Grandma’s footsteps, albeit one played in a railway museum and featuring Horne, the spotter, standing on a bridge wearing a helmet covered in fairy lights. It is funny when Lou Sanders squeezes into a bin and shuffles forward pretending to be part of the landscape, but it is even better when Joe Thomas just plays wholeheartedly and fully sprints from one hiding place to another, narrowly making it before Horne pops up again to try to catch him. A brand-new Taskmaster game with all-new tasks. The Secret Series Game invites you and your family and friends to take part in your own series of Taskmaster games at home. Carry the scores from each individual game forward into the next until you complete 10 'episodes' to crown an overall Series Winner! Who will be the ultimate champion?Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne bring you a Taskmaster Board Game based off of their award-winning show. The aim of the game is to finish with the most points but getting those points may require you to think outside the box and try to be clever with your tasks.
The game is a brilliant reiteration of the onscreen version, and if you are willing to be a bit silly and embrace the ludicrous challenges, you will be laughing out loud while playing this game. I really like creating my own avatar too. There are plenty of opportunities to show favouritism and begin arguments with the point scoring mainly being at the discretion of the Taskmaster. The time limits on the tasks ensure the game zips along at pace as players rush around trying to find the best materials to make trophies or snazzy footwear.

Gameplay
Although Jo Brand spent most of her time in the CBA club, she also had moments of sheer brilliance (scream-singing Jerusalem down the phone to Alex as an egg timer) and other series highlights were Ed Gamble’s meltdowns and Rose Matafeo’s outstanding rootin’ tootin’ Taskmaster theme. ED 6. Series Fourteen The first thing players will need to do is draw themselves an avatar for the leader board. You have a minute to do this before it is placed in the frame provided. Like all good party games, Taskmaster is easy to learn and easy to play. The tasks are brilliantly bonkers, but if you’ve watched the TV show you would be disappointed if they weren’t. Things can get a bit messy and occasionally wasteful, but as long as you are prepared for it you will be having too much fun to care.
