Cranium
Spell a word backwards, hum a tune, answer a multiple-choice question,
draw with your eyes closed, and more when you play Cranium. Unlike games
that focus on only a few skills, Cranium offers 14 talent-tapping
activities designed to bring out the best in you and your friends.
Cards from four decks, color-coded to match each of the crazy characters -- Star
Performer, Creative Cat, Data Head, and Word Worm -- describe activities
that teams must complete in order to advance around the board. If you
choose a Sculptorades card from the Creative Cat deck, for example, you
might be asked to sculpt a hamburger from lemon-scented Cranium Clay while
your teammates try to guess what you're creating. To win the game, teams
have to make it to Cranium Central -- the large purple brain in the center
of the board -- and then successfully complete one activity from each of the
four decks. The result is that the team with the best combination of
abilities comes out on top.
With its wonderfully diverse set of activities
and top-notch design (artwork by illustrator Gary Baseman decorates the
colorful board and decks of cards), Cranium offers the best of all board
game experiences--and it's a whole lot of fun, too!
