Advantages: A section for everyone. Very fun!

Disadvantages: Can take quite a long time

This is one of my friends' and I's favourite board games. It can keep us entertained for hours! The aim of the game is to get round the board and to the brain in the centre. You get round the board by picking cards and answering questions or doing activities. When you get to the centre you must answer one question from all four sections correctly in a row. A timer is included with the game which is used for all the section

The game is made up of four different question sections. The first is Creative Cat. When you pick one of these cards you will be asked to either draw something with your eyes open or closed, or to sculpt something with the clay provided. With Creative Cat there is also the possiblity that all teams will be asked to perform the task.

The second is Word Worm. For this section you may be asked to spell a word, either forward or backwards. You may also be asked to define a word. We usually find this section the hardest. Some of the words are very complex to spell, whilst the ones we are asked to define we haven't even heard of! Some are absurd, but it is funny!

The third section is Data Head. For this section you are asked questions about history, such as what happened on a paticular day, geography, such as which country is highlighted in red and whether a fact is true or false.

The fourth ans final section is Star Performer. Like Creative Cat all teams may be able to perform the task, though it is not the case with each card in the section. In this section you maybe asked to act like a celebrity, act out an action like charades or hum or sing whilst you team guess what you are.

It's a really fabulous game and is great fun. You need four people to play as you require at least two teams made up of two people. We found two teams was best as it took less time so didn't get tedious and was actually more fun. I'd definately recommened it!

Summary: A fabulous game, which I'd recommend to everyone!
