CRANIUM REVIEW

5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun we forgot about bedtime!
by Shelly C.
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
I bought this game on a whim because I've played Cranium with adults and thought it was great fun. Not only was this a fantastic way for me to have fun with my daughters, husband, and son, but contrary to what another reviewer suggested, this game was *completely* different from adult Cranium- except for the fact that this game is also incredibly fun. We had so much fun playing after dinner the other night that I looked up to discover that we had overshot bedtime by an hour and a half!

This game has a variety of activities you have to complete- a few familiar, but mostly totally new things to do. For example, you do hilarious stunts that make it possible for younger kids to have fun and make their contribution to the game in more than just a patronizing gesture. My team couldn't have won the game had my youngest daughter not been such a whiz at flipping those frogs. The kids also loved to watch my husband and I doing silly things like try to stack the cubes up with our elbows. I haven't laughed so hard with the kids all year! There are all new word games you play with letter dice and fun trivia. There's a great variety in the game- like Cranium- but the cards are totally different... I love that during the game each of my kids got their opportunity to contribute through an activity that they were particularly good at. I can't think of a time when $20 has brough more fun and entertainment to my family. I can't wait to give this to my sisters for Christmas so they can have as much fun with their families.

I found this From the Richard family
I've found ways to play Cranium with two or three people, so even if you can't find enough people for teams, you can still have fun. For a two-person game, just have the other person read your red and yellow cards to you, and for the blue and green cards, have them guess while you play. For your last question of the game, it can't be a blue or green card because it would be too easy. For three-person games it is very similar. The person to your left reads your red and yellow cards, and you play your green and blue cards while other players guess. Same rule applies to the last question."

MAD GAB REVIEW



5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and hilarious
by Lew G.
I wanted something for the adults to play at Christmas that would definitely make people laugh. This definitely hit the spot. We played with eight people, of which four of them had already had their share of drinks, and that just made it all the more fun. Listening to someone try to figure out the phrases can be hilarious. For anyone who actually knows how to have a good time and wants to have fun, this game will do it. I played later with my twelve year old, and it was just as fun with her. She can't wait to play it with her friends, and my eighteen year old daughter can't wait to take it and play with her friends. It's a good laugh for a lot of different ages. See Also:


PICTIONARY REVIEW




5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Fun, and more Fun!

Pictionary. Our family favorite game. We take this game on vacations/cruises/ and laugh so hard at the drawings that emerge. A word is picked from a certain category and there's only a certain amount of time allowed to draw and let your team mate guess the word. ANY age can play and everyone has a real good time. Sometimes the opposite team member gets so caught up in the drawings made and the fun and fast pace, that they will shout out what they think the drawing is and might be helping an opponent. I love this game! IT'S SUPER-DOOPER FUN!

Taboo Review



5.0 out of 5 stars Taboo

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars
I'm not a "game person". But one night my family convinced me to try Taboo, and I got hooked. It's involving, yet not so difficult that there's a lot of pressure. Taboo is rightly considered a classic.

Long time Taboo owners who have fruitlessly searched for a "taboo expansion deck" should know that this is it! This 10th Anniversary Edition has ALL NEW words. If you know someone who is already a Taboo fan, this would make a great gift. That makes this an unusual item: wonderful for both people who don't own Taboo and those who do!
