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.

Disney Edition Colour Brain Game Review The Brick Castle: Disney Edition Colour Brain Game Review

This game based on the popular ride sees players as guests in the Haunted Mansion, trying to meet as many ghosts as possible. But the hitchhiking ghosts along for the ride can force the players to take haunt cards, and the player with the most when the game ends will lose a chunk of points. It's a great risk/reward balance. The questions in Disney Colourbrain come from the whole world of Disney, including Pixar movies and Winnie the Pooh. Another popular game given a Disney makeover, this is a trivia game with the twist that all the answers are colours. Each player, or team, starts with a hand of colour cards. For each question, you choose one – or more – colour cards that you think match the answer. This non-verbal aspect makes it great for younger players. Put your observation skills to the test as you try to match the images on each card to one another before everyone else. Sound easy? Well, it might be if not for the fact that you’re playing under a spell of silence. You’re not allowed to tell your fellow players what cards you’ve got. That makes it a whole lot harder… and massively more exciting when you achieve it! You have to look at what's currently on the board, and what's in your hand, and make a judgment as to what will help get the group closer to being able to match all the piles, and when you've correctly guessed which way the wind is blowing, it's so satisfying for everyone.Can you remember the colours of the four Teletubbies? ( There were four wasn’t there?) How about the shirt colour of Woody from Toy Story? Giving and guessing clues can be as creative as your imagination will go. This Disney version replaces the words with characters and places from Disney classics. There are words on one side and pictures on the other so it can be enjoyed across all ages.

RACE TO THE FINISH: Whenever the other teams get the answer wrong, you score points! The first team to reach ten points wins the Disney game and gets to live happily ever after. Disney Colourbrain has a way to stop you having that one in eleven chance of guessing correctly every time. Guessing multiple colours. Simple, but effective. Suddenly Woody’s bandana is three colours, not two like you though. And Nemo isn’t just orange and white. There’s a third colour there too. If anything is going to be better than board games, it’s going to be Disney. Combine the two and you’re in for a wild ride. Perhaps the biggest difference in this junior version of the game is that it only facilitates two players or teams. It’s head to head if you will. But this allows for a simpler method of scoring. The winning player or team simply take the card, first to 10 cards wins. It also allows for a softer scoring system whereby the closest answer wins the card. It still retains the colour capture system though so the trailing team have that one chance to catch up.

A question card will be drawn and it’s your job to answer with the relevant colour cards. For example you might be asked about the colours of the power rangers and you’d answer with the correct cards. You’d also hope that some of the other players get it wrong because you score a point for each other player that gets the answer wrong! COLOURFUL ANSWERS: Each team has eleven Colour Cards in their hand. To answer the question, work out which colour to put down!

If you’re planning on playing with younger pip-squeaks just be aware they won’t have a clue what the answer is for 75%-80% of the questions or understand the question – largely because a lot of the questions require some prior cultural, historic, geographic, musical or cinematic knowledge. Category Board Games Tags 6-8 Years, 9+, Big Potato, Earth Day, Family, Fun for Kids, Kids Editions, Party, Zatu Gold Award SKU ZBP-CBJ01 Availability Admittedly some of the questions are deliberately guesswork and destined to gnaw away at you – “Cripes, what IS the colour of the entertainment wedge in the original Trivial Pursuit? Damn my failing memory..” 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. 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.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. My family lost our 16 year old to suicide in August 2014. I write about this occasionally, and I collect smiles as often as possible. Collect sets and journey across Europe as you take turns competing in a game of locomotive card-play as you cross channels, create tunnels and complete routes.

Don’t forget to yell “Jumanji” when you win. It’s the only way to get the hippos in the bathroom to leave (trust us, we’ve tried). Apart from a few very subtle tweaks across the editions, all follow the same ruleset: read a card out aloud to all teams; each team determines what colour or colours to answer using 11 differently coloured cards before the correct answer is revealed; and points (or groans) allocated.In addition to the colour cards, each player is armed with a capture card adding a further dynamic to gameplay. Only playable between rounds and only ever applied to the leader at that point in time, the capture card allows you to remove eight of the eleven cards in their hand effectively handicapping them on the next round. We found in practice that every player in rotation played it once someone reached 7-8 points causing some frustration for the leader. Effective in elongating playtime as-well as allowing players to catch a runaway player; it also had the unforeseen consequence of upsetting our 10 year old who thought she had the game in the bag only to be disabled by the family for her sister to then come from behind to win after three rounds. Each player starts with 11 colour cards and uses one of the cards to answer a question related to a Disney film. So, for example, you’d use the green card when asked to identify the colour of Mike Wazowski . For anyone unaware of Monopoly, the game sees two to six players make their way around a board as they buy, sell and trade properties to win. That’s the core concept for Colourbrain (or Colorbrain as our letter-efficient transatlantic cousins call it) from Big Potato Games, where Players compete individually, or in teams to recall the colours of things– well-known brands, film & TV characters and other commonplace objects in the hope of being the first to reach 10 points.
