Advantages: Great fun, variety of activities

Disadvantages: You need at least 4 players, difficult to understand the first time

If you aren't sure which game to buy then Cranium is probably the one to go for. At first the rules can be a little tricky to grasp as you are confronted with so many different colours, shapes and sizes, although once somebody has done that it makes the game a great experience.

Players essentially move around the board in teams with a counter, answering various different questions as they go. What is simply great about Cranium is the sheer variety of questions. For instance, I do not particularly enjoying the humming or acting questions, but because there are quiz questions or word puzzles, it soon comes round to something I enjoy.

Something that annoyed me was that you need at least 4 people to play, and that isn't always possible so it would seem that the game may not always get its full usage. Another factor is that the came can sometimes be priced quite highly, as it was when I first purchased the game. This was probably due to the high content of pieces and information, which is fine, but if you aren't looking to spend much, this may not be for you!

Summary: An excellent game for christmas day or a party
