CRANIUM BRAIN BREAKS

Game Objective: Work together with other players to successfully complete as many activities as possible. See how many game cards can be collected in a row for some added excitement.

Game Play: Players draw a card from the deck and try to successfully complete the activity in the allotted 60 seconds. For example, a Creative Cat card might instruct a player to make a paper airplane and fly it through a ring made out of clay that another player constructs, and all within 60 seconds! Speed is the name of the game!

My youngest is almost 8, and my oldest is 13, and they both enjoyed playing CRANIUM BRAIN BREAKS, mainly because it was fast-paced and very different from your average sit down game. All of the activities kept them on their toes and totally gave us all a laugh. In my book….the perfect family game.

P.S. On a Mom note – I loved that the entire game is enclosed inside the “Brain,” no big boxes or tons of little pieces to worry about 🙂
