Editorial Review

The wildly popular and award-winning Cranium board game has revved its engines and gone turbo! As in the original game, players in teams race around the board, sculpting, humming, spelling, or drawing answers to clues. But the Turbo edition is enhanced by 1,000 new cards and adds six outrageous activities to the 10 originals, including Odd Couple (determine which two things don't belong in a list), Zooma (identify objects shown in close-up), and Mindmeld (read teammates' minds to come up with the same words on a given topic). An electronic Turbo timer lights up and blasts music to keep the momentum going, as if watching your teammates sculpt "hot pants" or turn each other into puppets isn't energizing enough! Includes the Cranium board, 1,000 cards with 16 activities, a tub of clay, an electronic timer (requires three "AA" batteries [not included]), pencils and pads, and four game pieces. One of the best games around, with something for everyone! --Emilie Coulter

If you like the original game play, this edition is not for you. The different board set up and the timer that controls the category kinda sucks. It is nice to have the new cards but I like the way the original board was set up. Hard to play some of the new categories with just a team of two. Better off with the original game.

This is a great game to play in a group, both individually and/or in teams. I had this game shipped to my daughter's dorm room at NYU and she now hosts Cranium Nights! The game requires a certain amount of luck, strategy and skill, and the participants need to be able to make fools of themselves in order to act out the various loopy challenges. OUr family is very competitive and this is our favorite board game (other than scrabble)! Hope you enjoy it as well! Cheers!
Good improvement over original - Reviewed on 2008-01-21

Cranium Turbo edition is a great improvement over the original. The main advantages are that the whole game tends to move faster, largely because you don't get stuck on one color space like you could in the first version, and great new categories that encourage more team members to participate. Good examples are the marionette-like charades, and a team-based Gnilleps (in contrast to the single player based type). Lastly, Humdingers are much easier now, using many youngsters' songs that more people will recognize (e.g., The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round) and not obscure pop songs.

The only con I have to mention is the timer. I'm not a big fan of electronic devices to needlessly simulate dice and a sandglass, but some of my friends think that it is an improvement.
