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. 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. 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. FROM PETER PAN TO PIXAR: Includes questions from over 20 different Disney films, from “The colour of Scar’s mane” to “The feather in Captain Hook’s hat” to “The buttons on Olaf the Snowman”. Perfect for families with kids. 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.

As board game rulesets go, it’s wonderfully uncomplicated, and totally inclusive for kids and adults alike, that is until you get questions that require a certain cultural, historic or geographic knowledge. 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 ….

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…

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

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. 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. The age recommendation for Junior ColourBrain is 6+. Disney ColourBrain is recommended for 8+. My personal opinion is that those recommendations should be the other way around. My 5 year old daughter loves the Disney version (and regularly destroys me at it!) whereas some of the questions in Junior left her a little flummoxed. What’s more is how unfair it can feel. Eight cards out of eleven taken is effectively a guaranteed loss, right? We haven’t seen the game won on a steal round before, and that’s simple due to the statistical impossibility of it. It could happen, and it would be epic, but the pretence of a massive steal doesn’t work for me. Personally, I’d play it as play against anyone. But hey, maybe it’s just lost on me. Final Thoughts 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.Enter the four editions of Colourbrain (yes four currently): Colourbrain original, Colourbrain Mini, Colourbrain Junior and Disney Colourbrain. 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..”
