Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Cranium is an excellent game that embodies all the best aspects of board games--it doesn't last too long (about an hour for a game), it's exciting and funny and it also relies on the chance element as well as skill. The game is played by two or more teams of one or more players and the object is to get round the board into the Cranium Central area and be the first team to complete the activities there. Easy, isn't it? To do this, each team has to complete an activity, the selection of which depends on the square they last landed on--but it has to be completed before the egg timer runs out. There are also two routes to follow--the fast route (only available if you complete your first activity within the time) and the scenic route for those who don't. The activities are split into four groups: "Creative Cat", which asks, amongst other things, that you sculpt a miniature tea set out of clay--or draw a picture of baked beans on toast (with your eyes closed, of course). Then there is "Data Head"--do you know where the saying "back to square one" originates? Did Thomas Crapper really invent the flushing toilet? Another activity is the "Word Worm"--can you spell words backwards or solve puzzles with a cryptic clue such as "nervous neckwear"? Finally, there is the "Star Performer" activity (all families have one or two in this category.) Get them to emulate a John Cleese sketch or act "a back seat driver". When a team reaches Cranium Central, they have to complete one activity from each activity category to win. --Ben King

Product Description
Cranium is the outrageous, award-winning board game packed with something-for-everyone fun! Whether you're an aspiring actor, artist, data hound or wordsmith, Cranium gives you a chance to shine! And the fun doesn't end when the game does; you'll never forget your uncle impersonating Britney Spears, your sister acting out "ants in your pants", your mum spelling "platypus" backwards or your best friend sculpting "platform shoes" out of clay! Cranium brings families and friends together; after dinner, at parties, on rainy afternoons. When you play Cranium, you'll use your brain in ways you never imagined and find yourself doing the unexpected! Cranium helps people find the fun in all things and brings light and laughter to the lives of people who play!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for every family!, 7 Oct 2003
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
What a wonderful, novel, fun game Cranium is!

I went away on the annual family holiday armed with this board game and I can honestly say it's the most family fun we've had in a long time. The best thing about it is the diversity of the challenges - clay modelling, drawing, charades, spelling, humming, puzzles, general knowledge to name but a few, it's certainly not easy to get bored with it. I expected we would have a game one evening but we ended up giving up the nightly trip to the pub/club to stay in, get the drinks in and get this game out, it was hilarious fun. Age is no obstacle either, my two nieces of 8 and 10 played, along with myself (24), my partner (30), my parents (57 & 60) and even my Grandad of 85 had a go.

One of my nieces has now asked for the game for Christmas and I know it'll be a good buy as it's a game that will come out of the cupboard time and time again... well worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cranium; a great family game!, 24 Nov 2002
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Cranium combines creativity, logic,trivia, word play and just plain goofiness in an interactive board game that is a lot of fun! It's taken the best ideas of Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit, creative dramatics,and word puzzles from a sunday newspaper. In a single game players may have to hum a Beatles tune, mold clay into a frying pan, unscramble a phrase, and answer a historical question. Though it is greared towards adults and families with older children (ages 10 and up)it is perfectly "safe" from a parental point of view. Our kids had a blast playing it with us,their Aunt, Uncle and Grandmother. We never laughed so much!

5.0 out of 5 stars What fun, 24 Oct 2004
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Cranium is great fun for the whole family. I know that sounds terribly cliched, but it's true! I've never had so much fun in one hour. Even if you're not good at something- let's say sculpting- you'll find yourself laughing as you try to form a tiny teaset with blue claydough.

Cranium never lets down. It's fast-paced, with each team doing silly things (at the end of each round is when the fun happens and all the teams do something very silly- act out a John Cleese sketch, imitate the alphabet, or make charades of a butternut squash). The rivalry is always friendly, and it's a fairly simple game- get to the centre first with your little coloured peg and win, accomplishing tasks along the way. It's a colourful adventure, and one will find themselves playing with the family or friends far into the night.

Cranium is overall of incredible quality. The games are each a perfect length (two times round is about equal with a trip to the cinemas) of about an hour. Everyone can play- the end result is a fabulously funny party game for all ages.
