Hasbro GamingNEW Cranium

This game is so much fun!! There are 4 categories that you can play on 3 different board sizes, depending on how long you want to play. I played the original version, but the new categories in this are up to date and a lot of fun. The categories are: Data Head where you must decide if things are true or false, or other such ideas. There is Creative Cat, which is where you must draw with or without your eyes open, or even sculpt with the included "clay". There is Word Play where the people on your team must take turns to spell a word backwards, for example, Mom says "o", sister "g", friend "n", Mom "i", sister "m", friend "a", Mom "l", sister "f" to get the word "flamingo". This is a real card by the way, so practice up!! Word play also has unscramble the words and fill in the blanks. The final category will have you humming or whistling a tune, playing charade like games, or impersonating famous folks. My best recommendation with this game is to have someone from all age groups or someone who is familiar with very current events on each team. I had to impersonate Victoria Beckham and Beyonce, while my sister hummed GnR's Welcome to the Jungle, and my mother-in-law impersonated a back up dancer and zombie.A super big plus is there is not a lot of rules and for confusing areas we just all settle on a way to play the game and can bend the rules as necessary or not. Totally fun game! Way worth the purchase!!

Great game for the whole family and for parties.

Girlfriend enjoyed it *too* much. Just kidding but she does ask to play it everyday

My friends and I are always on the lookout for fun board games, and Cranium is one of the best board games we have right now. We absolutely love it, especially as it combines many of our favorite games into 1. We especially love the blue cards which are the creative ones allowing the players to sketch and sculpt (with the clay that comes with the game). In addition, the cards are double sided, so you get twice as many cards as you think you are getting. It is pricy, but I absolutely love this game and I think it is well worth the money. It is also very family friendly which is great, as kids as well as adults can enjoy playing.

I love cranium and the concept of being able to play a full game in less time is executed very well with this version. The problem is that I was very disappointed with the quality of the cards in this game. The game cards themselves were flimsy and liked to stick together, though still a great game, I was let down by the inferior card stock. Come on Cranium I want to be able to play this game more than a few times.
