How 2 play:

In Cranium, teams must complete different activities to move around the game board and be the first team to make it to the Cranium Central space. On your team's turn, you choose a Cranium card based on the colour of the space your mover is on.

If your mover is on the start space or a purple space, you get to choose any color.

Yellow spaces are Word Worm cards, where players must solve puzzles, define words, and even spell words backward.

Once your team has picked its card color, the other team will draw the card and read it aloud to you. Flip the timer and complete the activity on the card before time runs out. If you successfully complete it, roll the die and move your mover to the colored space indicated. Then your turn is over.

If you didn't complete the activity, you don't roll the die or move. It's the other team's turn.

There are also All-Play cards mixed into each category. These cards mean that both teams compete against each other at the same time. The first team to shout out the correct answer before time runs out wins an instant bonus roll.

When you land on the Cranium Central space, you still need to successfully complete one last activity to win. The other team gets to choose what color card you will play. If you don't get it right, you have to try again on your next turn.

Cranium comes with a game board, 200 Cranium cards, a 10-sided die, a tub of Cranium clay, a timer, two movers, and a notepad. The game is for four or more players divided into two teams.
