Product Description: Who has the biggest brain? Perfect for lovers of brainteasers and puzzles, this fun board game is inspired by the top-selling Nintendo DS video game. Players are mentally and physically challenged in five different categories: Analyze, Compute, Identify, Memorize and Think. The player who collects the most tokens by answering questions correctly wins. Speed and accuracy count - not smarts - when answering questions at the Big Brain Academy. Teams collect chips based on the number of questions they answer correctly. After five rounds of play, teams weigh their chips on the "brain-o-meter" to see which team has the biggest brain. In this game, brain weight does matter! For 2 to 6 players.
Great fun for the entire family We have a large family with children of game playing age between 9 and 14, but this game was enjoyable for everyone, including the parents. It's both educational and challenging, while providing enough categories that everyone will have some strong categories and some weak ones.
You can do everything from simple math problems, to memory games, to building shapes with tangrams. There is enough variety that even playing the game every night for a week nobody gets bored! We even played one night with the grandparents and they were challenged, too.
We've played the game with six to eight people on two teams and everyone gets plenty of opportunity to play.
I really love that this game has been a confidence builder in our youngest two girls (9 and 10). They would start a category with a lot of "I can't do this" or "I'm not good at this" but each question they got correct bolstered their confidence in their abilities and made them more likely to try without the "can't" the next time.
Overall this is a very inexpensive way to spend enjoyable family time together. Amazingly, we made it through the game every single time without the kids fighting or arguing - and they actually cheered each other on and supported their sibling teammates! That alone makes it worth every penny!
