Cranium Scribblish Game by Hasbro (+ Giveaway)

With our family of seven Family Game Night may not be a weekly event, but it is an event we are trying hard to make more frequent. I find with the various age groups of the kids, it helps if we keep changing up the games. Cranium Scribblish, sent to us for review by Hasbro/Cranium through MyBlogSpark, was the latest game to make an appearance in the game night rotation.  Without a doubt it was an instant success and will be go to game in the future.

Cranium Scribblish is a new game that blends old “The Telephone Game” and Pictionary.  We loved that it's simple directions had us playing and laughing within minutes. 

Play basically proceeds like this:

"Everybody grabs a card, chooses a caption, and then tries their best to draw it in 45 seconds. From there you pass on your drawing (now with the original caption concealed in a cool Cranium scroll) to another player, who has to write a caption for your sketch. This mayhem continues around the room with more sketches and captions until the end when everyone tries to figure out how “this” became “that”. Oh, and if you’re not exactly a Picasso, no problem. Stick figures work just fine."

As a suggestion, we played without the timer the first time to allow the kids to get the hang of it.

You can visit Cranium´s Facebook page for $2 off the all-new Cranium Scribblish game.  We also are giving away a copy, courtesy of Hasbro through MyBlogSpark, to one lucky reader.
