"The game I don't like very much but we end up playing it 60% of the time"

Well, maybe not 60% of the time, but Cranium gets played way more than it should. I tried catering to the party game crowd by foisting Wits & Wagers on them. Fail (though not in my book)! We played an excruciating game of Cranium immediately afterwards.

Cranium is one of the only Party Games I can stand, and I still don't care for it very much. Still, better this than Battle of the Sexes or some other nonsense.

I guess I am in the minority here. When this game came out my friends and I bought it and played the whole thing. Not just one game. We played every card in the box in a weekend. I think it is a good game. It caters to a lot of players, but I would rather play other games now.

Time's Up is a hit at my place.

I actually kind of agree. It's just gotten old. We do have the Booster Pack but haven't tried it yet. We also have Cranium Pop 5, which I actually enjoy. Slightly.

This is the Cranium Primo edition in the shiny metal box. The box itself has dents and scuffs on the top and sides. Inside everything is intact and in great shape except the modeling clay, which has hardened due to age, but can be replaced easily with better non-hardening clay from your local craft store.

The lot also includes Cranium Booster Box 1.

The box is scuffed on the corners. Inside the cards are new in their shrinkwrap.

... where I find a copy of the Cranium 3-in-1 edition (not the one pictured) for $3. Open the box, cards are still in the shrink wrap. Clay is rather moldy though; that will have to be replaced, but this one is unplayed as well.

Neither of my finds today will be flipped, but I'm pleased with the two games for less than $4 on my first attempt at thrifting. And I have five more thrift stores in town that I haven't visited yet. So, hopefully I'll have more tales to tell soon.

A party game seems like an odd choice for a hospital, doesn't it? I dunno, maybe I'm too cynical. Didn't bother looking at it.

Especially one that involves standing up and dexterity-type stuff all the time...I could see Taboo or something, but you're right, odd choice (even by mass market standards).

Although it's a party game, my kids enjoy picking through the cards and doing the drawings or molding the clay bits without actually playing the game. Good for filling up some time for artistic little minds.

Cranium is not a great game... it is an OK game, but it always goes over well with the family at gatherings. People get to play in teams and do a variety of things to get the win. Charades, humming a well known tune, make clay items… You never get bored with the game and you will laugh. I have played this game many times and always have enjoyed the interaction with the family.

I couldn't agree more. Many cranium editions sit, rarely played in my mom's basement. In fact, I sought out most of these other party games hoping to never play Cranium again, and I enjoy almost all of the games that I added to this list more than Cranium.

Yep... for someone who likes gaming, there isn't much to it. But, I end up playing it at least once a year. Allow me to suggest another game I just thought of...
