The game has aspects of Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary, and even Ludo! But it’s very much its own unique game and well worth playing. Before we discuss what you need to play and the rules let’s take a more in-depth look at the game itself.

[8] Toys and games [ edit ] There are also all-play cards where all the teams compete against each other in a bid to be the first team to guess the correct answer before the timer runs out. The winning team then gets to roll the dice and move.

The other teams can then choose one final challenge category for them to do. If the team in Cranium Central can answer this last question successfully, they win the game! But if they don’t, play moves to the next team, and they’ll have to wait for their next turn to try again. What You’ll Need To Play? If you’re a child of the 90s or early 2000s, then you might remember Cranium. This colorful board game was a classic and still has plenty of fans today! The game has many elements to it, making it fun for the whole family. Players start the game of Cranium on a purple space, which allows the team to choose their activity. The team to the right of the active team will draw the card and read it out. They will also start the sand timer when the active team is ready. If the active team successfully completes the activity then they roll the dice and move that number of spaces, their turn is now over. If they do not complete the activity they stay where they are and end their turn. Next turn they must try again and don’t move from the space until they complete the activity.The other teams can nominate a final challenge category for you to complete. If you complete this fifth and final challenge, you win Cranium! But if you lose at any point, your turn ends, and you’ll have to wait for your next turn to try again. Cranium – An Educational Thrill-Ride! Cranium is a board game all about variety! While you can see the inspiration from other board games, it remains its own unique, fun challenge.
