BrainBox: The World (2008)

About this game

Do you know where Machu Pichu is? Or what bird New Zealanders are named after? BrainBox World contains 71 beautifully-illustrated cards showing the very best this world has to offer, and then some! The object of the game is to study a card for 10 seconds and then answer a question based on the roll of a die. If the question is answered correctly, the card is kept and the person with the most number of cards after 5 or 10 minutes is the winner. Made from a minimum of 70% recycled material and designed in the UK, the BrainBox range is fabulous fun. Find out who the BrainBox is in your family – it may not be who you think it is!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 99. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
