Product Description
Product Description
BrainBox is a fast and fun memory game that does not require any pens, pencils, paper, playing board or even a table! Each round takes 10 seconds so all players are involved. A game lasts as long as you want it to, 10 minutes is the norm, but playing for 5 minutes is great fun also. BrainBox is educational and is perfect for families and groups of friends to play, wherever they are, on a level-playing field. Packed in a sturdy cool magnetic cube box. BrainBox is ready to play without any set-up time needed. The rules are pretty straight forward. You can play solo or with as many people as you want. A player simply picks a card and studies it for 10 seconds before being asked a question from the back, chosen by the roll of a die. A correct answer means the card is kept, if not it is returned to the box. The player with most cards after 5 or 10 minutes wins! The winner may not be who you expect as this fabulous game is about observation and memory, not learned facts! BrainBox Football includes 71 cards, each with a different football team including club history, famous players and fun facts.

I bought this for my 7 year old who is a mad footy fan. Basically it is a box which holds cards - each card has about 10/15 facts about a football club with pictures - all the clubs in here from Man City/Liverpool to Brighton. You have to memorise the facts about the club in 10 seconds - there is a timer in the box - this just about gives you enough time to read all the facts on the card & take in the pictures - roll a dice which then gives you a colour which in turn gives you a question - the question could be a fact or about one of the pictures on the card i.e. what colour socks did the player wear or when was the club founded etc. This is really a simple memory game so your children can get the better of you! This has proved to be a fun game which you can play for 5 minutes or longer - depending how you feel. I have since bought some of the other titles as birthday gift presents for his friends & they have proved to be a popular present with both the children and the parents.

i got this game for my dad, who is an avid footy fan, and reckons he knows it all anyway, so this was a fab way to catch him out! I got another one of the BrainBoxes for my b'day adn was delighted that there's loads of different versions of the game, so you can make it a really personal gift. This game is really good fun to play in a big group, and great whetehr your with kids, adults or both. It looks great as it's all illustrated, and feels really good quality. I think all the BrainBoxes are recyled material (think that's why the company that makes them is called Green Board Games) so i really like that about this game as well. Buy this game for the footy fan in your life!

I bought this as a tenth birthday present for a child who is a keen football supporter. She played it at her party and enjoyed it very much.
Basically you play by taking a card from the pile, then you turn over the egg timer and have just a few seconds to try and memorise all the football facts on the card. Each card is about a different team, and the facts are things like famous player's name, what year they won the cup, what colour strip they wear, and so on.
After the egg timer runs out, you have to put the card down and throw the die. According to what number you throw, you are asked a question. If you get it right, you keep the card, if you get it wrong you must return the card to the pile.
Adults and children can play together, and anyone from about age 7 upwards, who is a capable reader, would enjoy playing it.

This was also for my 11 year old Grandson's birthday but he already had this game. Father and son said it is a good game but I did not get to see what it was all about. Sorry

This has been good fun!
Not quite what I'd expected. More of a memory test. But as such a good way of occupying a eight year old. Not exactly a family game!

Disappointed
I expected a Football game and I received a soccer game. Very disappointed. No worth the money and aggravation of not receiving it before Christmas as stated.
