Cranium Family Edition

Cranium Family Edition Review



Cranium Family Edition Feature

  • Cranium Family Fun features a variety of hilarious activities that will have everyone laughing, high-fiving, and working and playing together!
  • Players compete by building, flipping, sketching, sculpting, and guessing
  • Object of the game: Be the first team to reach the finish line at the end of the twisting and turning path.
  • With colorful Cranium Cubes and fun Flipper Frogs, The Family Fun Game delivers the ultimate game night!
  • Perfect for Family Game Night
  • Can Mom flip a frog through a hoop you've sculpted out of clay? Can you pass the Cranium Cubes to Dad without using your hands?
  • To advance around the board, your team must harness its collective talents to answer questions and complete activities from the 4 card decks
The original highly successful Cranium game is a great way for adults and older children to face off in entertaining challenges. Later games using a similar model were greatly simplified and geared more toward younger players. But with this new family model, everyone can play together. It still employs the same four basic Cranium categories: Creative Cat, Data Head, Star Performer, and Word Worm but within those groupings there are numerous new challenges for players of all ages. Like the traditional game, there is squishable clay for sculpture challenges but now there are also stacking cubes and a set of plastic frogs that players are occasionally called upon to flip. The game board is scaled back a bit, offering a short length of the game. We found the questions and pacing to be brisk and while younger players (age 8 and over, kids younger than that would be fine playing with an older teammate) would be able to have fun, it’s one of those rare family games that adults can actually enjoy playing. --Charlie Williams Cranium Family Fun gives families the best way to play together as a team in an unforgettably fun game that gives everyone a chance to shine. Packed with 16 hilarious activities, Cranium Family Fun gets you building, flipping, sketching, sculpting, guessing and laughing out loud together every time you play!

Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons (Family Edition)

Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons (Family Edition) Review



Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons (Family Edition) Feature

  • Apples to Apples are the game of hilarious comparisons
  • It's as easy as comparing apples to apples... just open the box, deal the cards, and you're ready to play
  • Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge
  • Includes over 1,000 cards
  • Each round is filled with surprising and outrageous comparisons from a wide range of people, places, things and events
Apples to Apples is an award-winning party game that will have everyone laughing. We had a blast playing this game and think it is a perfect game for a "board game night" with friends and family. It is quick to set up, easy to learn, challenging, and a whole lot of fun.



The party box includes over a thousand cards for many card combinations. View larger.


Unexpected and funny comparisons make the game fun to come back to again and again. View larger.
What We Think

Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)

The Good: Quick set up; inspires quick thinking and creativity; fun for whole family

The Bad: Not as fun without at least five players; subject matter targeted for mid-teens and older

In a Nutshell: Quick-paced board game requires just a minute to set up and will have everyone laughing for hours
At a Glance

Ages: 12 and up
Requires: At least four players
Smart, Award-Winning Fun
Apples to Apples has won numerous awards including "Party Game of the Year" by Games magazine and "Mensa Select" by Mensa International. And for good reason: it involves quick thinking, humor, and strategy. For teens, the game teaches them to think about how different things can be compared to one another and how analogies are formed. One of our criticisms is that although the game states that it is designed for ages 12 and older, many of the subjects are clearly for older teens.

Hilarious Comparisons and Analogies
The name of the game is a play on the phrase "apples to oranges," and the game is about making comparisons between different things. General game play is as follows: players are dealt red cards which have a noun printed on them, and the judge (a different player in each turn) draws a green card on which an adjective is printed and places it for all players to see. Each player then chooses a red card they are holding that they think best describes the green card. The judge then decides which adjective she likes best.

The fun is in the variety of unexpected comparisons people make, sometimes apt, funny, creative, or simply absurd. For example: people might match "Awkward" with "Oil Spills," "My First Kiss," "Dandruff," and "Gold Chains. " Or: "Painful" with "High School Reunions" and "Regis Philben. " Strategy comes into play since, because each player takes turns being the judge, you begin to pick up on the preferences of each player and tailor your choices accordingly.

Players can also try variations on the basic game play. For example, instead of choosing the most apt comparison, players might try choosing the red card that is least like the green one. These variations keep the game fresh and interesting every time.

Conversation Kick Starter
Part of the fun is in standing up for your choices. For instance, you might discuss why you think "Regis Philben" is painful, or segue into a discussion of the embarrassing situations you got into on your first day of school, or your first kiss. Apples to Apples excels as an ice breaker and promotes a good amount of social interaction, as many conversations will be kick started thanks to these little cards.

More Players, More Fun
Although the box states that the game is playable with just four players, we found that the game is a lot more fun when there are at least five or six players. This increases both the frequency of funny answers and also requires players to refine their strategy a little more. Once we got going, hours passed, and it was only the lateness of the hour that reminded some of us that we had to go home.

This Party Box set comes with more than 1,000 cards total, and will entertain for a long time. Additional expansion sets are available to further increase the variety of word combinations.

What's in the Box
756 Red Apple Cards, 252 Green Apple Cards, card tray, quick play rules.
Apples to Apples is the wild, award-winning card game that provides instant fun for 4 to 10 players. Open the box, deal the cards, and you're ready to play! Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge. If the judge picks your card, you win that round. Everyone gets a chance to be the judge.
