Cranium

Cranium borrows a little from a lot of very popular board games and combines it into one package, making for a very exciting and adventurous gameplay experience.  Also known as "The Game for Your Whole Brain," Cranium challenges players with a variety of activities that are sure to never leave anyone bored.  Trivia, drawing, spelling, and acting are just a few of the games Cranium has to offer.

With a bright and colorful board adorned with whimsical cartoons, Cranium is a feast for the eyes before gameplay even begins.  Four categories make up the core of the game:  Creative Cat (blue), Data Head (red), Word Worm (yellow), and Star Performer (green).  Creative Cat includes drawing games like Pictionary and clay sculpting.  Data Head has trivia, multiple-choice, and true/false questions.  Word Worm has a forwards and backwards spelling bee, definitions, and word puzzles.  Star Performer includes activities like charades, impersonations, and song humming.  These categories are selected when a player rolls a color-coded die and lands on the corresponding color.  There are two paths along the board - the Fast Track which is more spaced out and leads to the end of the board faster, and the Scenic Path which is about twice as long as the Fast Track.  Correct answers on a first try will put the player on the Fast Track, whereas wrong answers lead to the Scenic Path.

The variety in gameplay is where Cranium shines.  One moment you may be trying to spell "kangaroo" backwards, the next you may find yourself shaking your hips like Elvis Presley.  It's incredibly fun for the whole family, and other versions of Cranium - especially Cranium Cadoo - are geared towards a younger audience.  Ideal for parties, family events, or nights in, Cranium will stretch your brain to the limit with plenty of laughs and learning, and loads of fun.
