Coming to us from Big Potato Games, ColourBrain Disney Edition is a colour matching card game centred around your knowledge of Disney characters and based on the original ColourBrain mechanics. In Disney Colourbrain all the answers you need are in your hands. And they're all colours! What colour was the poisoned apple in Snow White, the Genie's skin in Aladdin, and 248 more. Great online store for board games. They always arrive perfectly and undamaged which is important to me. The questions in Disney Colourbrain come from the whole world of Disney, including Pixar movies and Winnie the Pooh.In terms of quality, the colour cards are large, weighty in comparison to a standard playing card and have a thread material with gloss finish. Game cards are clearly illustrated and show both the logo of the film from which the question originated as well as the number of colours needed to answer, on the flip side a high quality image from the film depicting the answers. Game cards are much smaller at around 50% of the size of a colour card and notably more delicate. Before the carnage starts …. Better yet, you can even play the game on your own if the family has already deserted you after a rough round of Cluedo. A new game which resurrects an old Disney classic: Hocus Pocus from 1993. It’s a co-operative card game and another hit from the team behind Disney: Villainous. Everyone gets a hand of potion ingredient cards, which they take turns playing into one of five piles on the game board. If all piles are of the same type or colour, you stun one of the witches, taking you a step toward victory.

Big Potato Disney Colourbrain: Brilliantly Colourful Board

Despite being the edition with the most questions, the three subsequent editions usefully added the number of colours required for the answer on the question side, the original doesn’t have this. CRAFTY QUESTIONS: Split into teams of kids and grown-ups, then try to answer one of 250 crafty questions about the Disney Universe. So, if the question was “What colours are the Olympic rings?” the newer editions would tell you that you need to answer 5 colours, the older edition wouldn’t provide this useful clue. It’s a minor niggle but it’s a valued design addition to the sequels. Irrespective of which version you settle on, there really are minimal components which makes it perfect for holidays or when in transit (on rail, ferry or flight). To travel light, you could do away with the box, pop a pile of question cards in an elastic band along with the colour cards and hey presto – low fi Colourbrain holiday version. Colourbrain aims to be the quiz for those who aren’t good at quizzes. It does this by handing you all the answer cards in the form of 11 colour cards. Helpfully these are coloured and written on so that there is no debate about what colour a card is.Our latest game review for Big Potato Games is Colour Brain - Disney Edition. Suitable for 2-12 players aged 8+, this is a question and answer game where every answer is a colour. The only element of this game I didn’t understand entirely was the steal. It made no sense to me, personally. As the last place team, you can steal eight cards from the first place team. That’s all well and good, but logistically it didn’t work every time. If there were two points up for grabs, and one team on nine and another on eight, either could win. I target the leaders who know nothing about Tangled and I’ve lost regardless. In fact, with an estimated 1,144 different versions of Monopoly available - including boards based around the Muppets, Pokemon, and even Coronation Street - the possibilities are well and truly endless when it comes to family fun.

Choosing from a selection of colour cards, players must answer a question with either one card or a combination of two or three cards to answer a plethora of Disney based questions. Being the first to place your cards down and shouting ColourBrain starts a 15 second countdown for the remaining players to get their answers in. Getting the answer right doesn’t guarantee you victory or points in a round since your score is determined by the number of teams or players who get the question wrong. So if everyone is correct, nobody scores and a point is carried to the next question, if two are correct and two are incorrect then the the victorious two players/teams get two points each. Still Shrinkwrapped… Each team has eleven Colour Cards in their hand. To answer the question, work out which colour to put down. Can you remember the colour of the jewel in Princess Jasmine's hairband? Or the five colours of the Incredibles' suits? A relatively new name to the board game establishment, Bananagrams is a bit like Scrabble but much better because it comes in a banana pouch. It’s not just pop culture questions either, this is where the Junior version bridges the gap between Disney and grown up versions. There’s an excellent range of entertaining general knowledge questions too, for example: An Elephant eating candy floss? A flamingo juggling walnuts? Or a donkey holding a bottle of Sprite?! Each card lets you know how many colours you need (in the above cases 2), and gets brains, old and young, whirring trying to figure out the answers. Colour charts Colour Brain also has a nifty catch up mechanism in the form of the colour capture card which can be used only once per game to steal 8 random colour cards from the player or team ahead of you in points. That team will now have to attempt to answer the next question using only the three remaining cards in their hand before regaining all their cards again thereafter.COLOURFUL ANSWERS: Each team has eleven Colour Cards in their hand. To answer the question, work out which colour to put down! It’s bank holiday weekend and while that usually means a trip outside to enjoy the expected sunshine, things are going to have to be a little bit different this time around.

Colourbrain Junior (120 questions) and Disney Colourbrain (250 questions) are primarily pitched at kids, with Colourbrain mini (120 questions) a self-contained travel edition or question expansion to the original. This Disney variant, unsurprisingly, tailors all the questions to Disney and all its characters, films and tv shows. The questions have a surprisingly wide range and can be more difficult than you’d expect. But this is a great version of Colourbrain for families, or too mix in with the main game or use the questions from for your little super fans! In a first to ten point game, with four players or teams, we found games last around 15 mins and given the number of question cards in the box it’s very easy to keep playing for well over an hour without repetition. We also had fun reminiscing around the scenes depicted on the question cards with the kids leading to a Disney movie session directly after our first game. Clear, consise and good quality cards.Built for one to four teams of one to three players per team, the box suggests a player age of 8 plus. In reality you can play (as we did) with players under 8. The key challenge is hand size (never thought I’d say that), little ones understand the questions and likely know more answers than their parents given the source material but will struggle to effectively “fan” the eleven colour cards and find the appropriate ones inside the 15 second pressure timer after the first player lands their cards. Simple concept but effective for the family.
