Divide into teams
of
two or more. Each team chooses a
game piece
and places it on the purple Planet Cranium® labeled
S
T A R T.
Give each team a
pad and pencil.
Now you’re ready to play Cranium!
Set out the
four
character card boxes:
Creative Cat®, Word Worm®, Star Performer®, and Data Head®.
Set out the
die, timer,
and tub of
Cranium Clay®.
Cranium is the outrageously fun party game for four or more players that
will get you and your team sculpting, acting, puzzling, and even
spelling backwards to win!
OBJECT
The object of the game is to be the first team to move clockwise around
the board and into Cranium Central™, where your team will attempt its
final activity for the win!
On
your first turn,
and every time you’re on a purple
Planet Cranium,
you get to choose which box your card will be drawn from.
In Cranium you
roll at the
END
of your turn,
after you have successfully completed an activity.
REMEMBER
If you’re
successful...Roll
the die and move
to
the next color indicated on the die. You must
stop on every purple Planet Cranium
even if your roll would otherwise take you past it. If you roll purple,
zoom ahead to the next Planet Cranium.
Your turn is now over.
Play passes to your left.
If you
don’t succeed...
Don’t roll or move.
You must wait until your next turn and try again.
Your turn is now over.
On
every Planet Cranium
you have a chance to get on the fast track. If your team is
successful on the first activity
you do on the Planet Cranium, hop on the inner
fast track.
Otherwise, take the outer
scenic path.

next goes first.
SETUP
A
Club Cranium card pauses the game for an outrageous all-play activity,
with all teams competing to earn a bonus roll. The first team to shout
out the correct answer before time runs out wins an immediate bonus
roll.
After the Club Cranium is played, the winner of the Club Cranium card
takes one
bonus roll and moves.
Then the team whose turn it was when the Club Cranium card was drawn
takes its
regular turn.
Just follow the
instructions on the card.

worry——you can still try for the fast track on your regular turn.
•If your team
wins the Club Cranium
and it was your first activity while on a Planet Cranium, roll and move
onto the fast track.

PLAY IT SMART, AND HAVE FUN.
Enter the
Cranium Circle
on
a roll at the end of a turn.
Move to the name
of
the character card box that matches the color on the die.
If
you roll
purple,
you can choose your starting point on the circle.
Now wait for your next turn.
Each time you successfully complete an activity in the Cranium Circle,
keep the card,
move clockwise to the next character name, and
wait until your next turn
to
do an activity from that box.
Club Cranium cards count, too.
If you win a Club Cranium card while you’re in the Cranium Circle, keep
the card if it’s one you need. If the card you won matches the character
name you are on, move clockwise to the next character name.
If
you are not successful, stay where you are and try again on your next
turn.
Once your team holds one card from each character card box,
move into Cranium Central.
On
your next turn, the other teams collectively
choose the character card box
for your final activity.
If
you are unsuccessful, you must try again on your next turn.
If
your team is the first to successfully complete an activity in Cranium
Central (Club Cranium cards count, too), congratulations!
You’ve won Cranium!
