Cranium Training Preschool Variety

Advantages: Fun and educational
Disadvantages: Just a couple of little niggles but nothing major

CRANIUM CARIBOO I bought this game for my granddaughters third birthday. It?s a fun and educational game for preschoolers that helps with letter, number, colour, and shape recognition. It?s an ideal first game, to get children used to the idea of a structured game, and it?s also a much more tolerable game for adults to play than many of the standard preschool games on the market. The basics Cranium Cariboo is a game aimed at 3- to 6-year-olds. It can be played with 2-4 players and combines a treasure hunt with colourful bouncy balls, an easy-to-use key, and lots of cards and doors. The board itself consists of two parts: a large section where there are doorways where the six included balls are hidden and a narrow section where the balls are stored once they?re found. When all 6 balls have been ...

Review of Re:creation Cranium Cariboo

Banish boredom with a game of Cranium

Advantages: Great family fun.
Disadvantages: Maybe a little overpriced at £30.

Cranium is a great game for adults and children. It is a team game - so you need at least four players to play. The rules are very simple, easy to pick up and the questions range from puzzling to quite challenging. It is entitled "Cranium" as it is designed to give your whole brain a mental workout. Thus there are 4 different categories of activities to earn yourself rolls of the dice - star performer, where you get to perform charades or hum or whistle songs, which other players have to guess - word worm, where you have to spell words or solve an anagram - data head, where you answer trivia questions, usually multiple choice or true or false (warning - some of these are trick questions, like the one asking whether Italy had won any matches in the rugby Five Nations tournament - they hadn't, as they played in the Six Nations ...

Review of Cranium

Cranium = Tedium

Advantages: sort of fun. for about three seconds
Disadvantages: not fun for most of the time

Imagine this: a humble board game where one moment you are constructing a clay model of the Taj Mahal, the next trying to spell a very long word backwards, the next doing an impression of Denis Norden, the next drawing a picture of a peanut. How crazy does that sound? So crazy it makes your head spin, right? So crazy it makes you want to run naked and screaming into the street? I wouldn't be surprised. When I first sat down to play Cranium I was a little scared that I would be driven permanently insane by the excitement. Not really scared, but a little. So it came as a great surprise when I discovered that, for all its innovations, Cranium is a little, well, tiresome. I shan't bore you with the ins and outs of the rules, but the basic gist is this: you move counters round a track, and perform tasks depending upon which square you land ...
