CRAFTY QUESTIONS: Split into teams of kids and grown-ups, then try to answer one of 250 crafty questions about the Disney Universe. Again, it can take a while to get all the way to the grand finale but the euphoria of having sussed it out way before anyone else will be enough to keep you going. One way that Junior differs from the other ColourBrains is in its box size. While the other boxes are by no means huge, this one is much more travel friendly. It’s a throw it in your bag and go type box which makes Junior the ColourBrain of choice for travel gaming. The downside is of course that it only holds 120 question cards as opposed to the other games which have closer to 300 cards. That’s still a fair bit of replayability though, providing you don’t have a photographic memory!

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. COLOURFUL ANSWERS: Each team has eleven Colour Cards in their hand. To answer the question, work out which colour to put down! 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?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 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 . Apples to Apples is a long-standing family classic. Players take turns to be 'judge' and turn over a random card with a word on it. The other players then choose a card from their hand they feel best fits that word, and get to plead their case with the judge as to why theirs is best. These discussions are the core of Apples to Apples, full of flattery, persuasion and hilarity. 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. We ended up stretching the rules for our youngest who loved the game, knew the answers but couldn’t work quite fast enough and just ended up with her cards face up on the table relying on the honesty of her family and friends not to copy her answers, the fix lies in the team mechanic and allows young ones to play with older siblings or parents handling the cards.

To play, a card is placed so all can see the card’s question. These cards are double sided with one side being a question and the other a picture which will give the answer. Teams must choose the colours of cards which will answer the question. This may require multiple cards to be played. Teams choose and play their card simultaneously. Once one team has played their cards, they shout “COLOURBRAIN!”, as an indicator to others that they have 15 seconds before the answer will be revealed. Any team who had a correct answer gains a point on the pad. However, should all teams be correct then no one scores and the next question is worth an extra point. The final element of the game is the steal. The team in last place can play this against those in first place to steal eight of their colours for the next round. 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. 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.Inspired by the iconic 90s movie, there is also a Jumanji board game and honestly it sounds amazing. 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! Zatu has an excellent range of games and for most of them the best prices too. Delivery is always fast and I have never received a game in bad condition. 10/10 would recommend. 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. 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
