Not as great as i had hoped!

I bought this game for my two boys (6 & 3) last year for Christmas. Yes, it is a neat game at first, but my boys pick up on things quickly and this game was way too easy and got old fast. They do like playing with the balls and the key. I wish they (as in Cranium) would have been able to incorporate more of the jewels or treasures for winning, because that was what my boys found fascinating at first. Then they kept on saying "Is that it?". I was not impressed at all.I wouldn't buy this game for children who already have even a small understanding of numbers and colors.

FINALLY...an educational game this is fun, too!!

I've never written a review before, but this game is definitely worthy of one. I love to play games with my kids but have had a rough time finding any for my 2 1/2 year old. He's not the sit down quietly boy that my six year old was at that age. This game did it though! It comes out of the closet several times a day. It has taught him a little about rules, taking turns and winning and losing. Plus, he's learned to recognize some letters and count objects. And, for a boy who loves to bounce anything resembling a ball to not have even once bounced these...YEAH CRANIUM! I'm adding several Cranium games to OUR Christmas list!

3 yr Old LOVES this game!

My 3 yr old daughter LOVES this game. Asks to play it every night. I like that she can "grow" with it and use the beginner cards now and then jump to advanced when she is ready. Very simple. Instructions were great. She calls it her "sour ball" game because of all the bright, bouncy balls.
