The
Cranium Board Game, a kind of board game decathlon which tests
your ability to think, hum, draw, compute, build, work out, recall
and perform. Plus some other stuff. Invented by two former Microsoft
execs, Cranium board game is a whole of many parts that cover all
the classic board game styles. It's probably the reason why the
game is so enjoyable – you never know what kind of question,
task or teaser you're going to get. And it certainly stops the Trivial
Pursuit know-alls or Pictionary whizzes from dominating the proceedings.
With its excellent original touches, such as the random task cards
that force every team into competing and the Cranium board game
Clay (for sculpting challenges – very amusing), and a simple
premise that gets everyone involved within a few turns, it's hardly
a shock to learn that Cranium sold 500,000 copies in just over a
year after its debut. That's more than Trivial Pursuit managed,
and look what happened with that...
