Brainbox The World Review

The World
Reviewed by Louisa Nashir
The first thing to catch my eye with this product was how colourful and fun the packaging was. The box features characters and items from across the world. The box was a doddle to open thanks to its magnetic corners and the inside presented itself very well. The box consisted of a 10 second sand timer, 71 cards, 1 dice and 1 rules card.
HOW TO PLAY
You can play this game alone or in a group, to play alone you select a card and look at it for 10 seconds (use the sand timer) and then turn the card over and answer all the questions using a pen and paper, if you answer all the questions correctly you keep that card if not you put it back into the box. You can play for either 5 or 10 minutes. At the end of the set time you see how many cards you have.
To play as a group the youngest picks a card first and looks at the card (using the timer again), the player then passes their card to another player and rolls the dice. The number you roll on the dice is the question number you must answer (player rolls 3, other player asks question 3).If you answer correctly the player then keeps the card if not the card is returned to the box and the next player then selects a card. The winner is the person with the most cards at the end of a 10 minute period.
FAMILY'S OPINIONS OF THE GAME
DAD – I enjoyed playing this game and would like to play it soon. The questions are well thought out and the concept is easy to understand.
CHILDREN (10 AND 5) – This game was a lot of fun and we liked using the timer. The dice was a funny shape and was a nice colour. We like the funny pictures on the cards.
A great game enjoyed by the family.
