Amazon.co.uk Review
Can you guess what they're thinking? This is the premise of Cranium Conga, from the makers of the hit dinner party game, Cranium.

Instructions detail how to fit batteries, and set up your Cranium Conga ready for play. When it's your turn, take one of the 300+ cards, and read the whole card out loud. If it's a "Creative Cat" card, you must answer by making a sculpture out of Cranium Clay. (Example Question: An animal that would make a bad pet.) If it’s a "Word Worm", you write down one word to fill the blank on the secret Conga screen, and you can tell other players the first letter. (Example question: One of the first things people notice about me is my ______.) If it's a "Star Performer" card, you make up an answer you can act out without speaking, similar to charades. (Example Question: Something kids can do better than adults.) Finally, if it's a "Data Head" card, you estimate your own answer to the question on the card and again, write it down on the secret Conga screen, (Example Question: How many pairs of underwear do I own?)

Once you have written your answer on the secret screen, or you are ready to sculpt or perform, close the cover on the secret pad to start the Conga timer. Pass Conga to the player on your left, and this person is now the first guesser. After the first person makes their guess, they hit the green button. You then say if the guess was correct or not. If it was wrong, the guesser quickly passes Conga on by their left-hand side. Players continue to guess, pressing the button and passing on, until the correct answer is guessed, or the timer runs out. Note: the timer is random and may last as little as 10 seconds or as long as one minute. If the guessers are having trouble, you can give clues, saying "higher" or "lower" on the numbers, giving extra letters in a word, and so on. Correct guesses are awarded scores and the corresponding number of Conga tiles. The object of the game is to fill your scoring case with tiles before anyone else.

Many games purport to be suitable for all ages and all members of the family, but not many get this as near the mark as Cranium Conga. When played at speed, the results can be hilarious and will result in grandparents and grandchildren, parents and children alike, rolling about with hysterical laughter. Not only will you have fun: you’ll also find out some fun facts about those most familiar to you. (Just HOW many pairs of pants does Grandma own?!) The colour instructions included give full details on how to play, as well as handy hints on how to win. Battery information, for safety and trouble shooting, is also included. As is usual with all Cranium branded games, the quality of the playing pieces is exemplary, and the attractive box is sturdy enough to offer storage for years to come.

Great for family gatherings or Saturday nights away from the TV. --Lucie Naylor

GREAT FUN!
We're a bunch of students (20-26 years old) living on campus in an Army & Design College and decided to buy this game (we own Cranium and decided to go for this one too).

First it is great fun and you get to know your friends/family a bit better. I'm not going to describe the game play as it has been mentioned before, but I'd like to say that it is more fun than Cranium because you don't need to use your brains that much!

Some of us are international students and Cranium was difficult for them due to language problems but this game proved to be a hit with everybody. A definite ice breaker. My only complaint is that it is for only 6 players and i would've been great if it was for 8.

A future recommendation would be if the amazing guys at Cranium released a more adult version of this game as it has great potential for it and I'm sure the game would be very hillarious and funny (specially with the acting and clay parts!).

You should definitly buy this, it's great for kids and parents, it's great to play amongst friend -whatever their age. Pure fun, no calculating or brain sqweezing involved, just be alter and anticipate the other person's answer and voila!!!

the only reason I'm giving this 3 stars for educational value is becuase I don't think it'll teach children anything essential like shapes/colors/general knowledge- only how to guess answers- which isn't that bad at all!
