The outrageous game for players who think alike. Would you write down the same things as your partner when asked to make a list of lollipop flavors, things in a bowling alley, or Jim Carrey movies? Players pair up, and write their answers in hopes of matching them with their teammates'. The more matches you make, the quicker you'll get to Brain Central - and win the game! Packed with a variety of categories suited for both men and women, you'll make lists about movies, TV, common knowledge, current events, sports, music, geography, and more. It even comes with a little brain! For 4 or More Players. Comes with Game board, 35 game cards with 420 categories, 4 folders, dice, dice cup, brain, movers, label sheet, writing pads, and game instructions.
Customer Review: Strategy and thinking outside the box with your partner are key in this game.
If you like games like Scattergories than this game is for you. This takes team play and mind reading to a new level. This game is played with equal teams of 2 or more. You can play with up to 4 teams but if you get really ingenious you can play with more than 8 people just adjust to "family rules". You are competing to see how well you can match your partner on topics. One topic we had was "things a rock star does" You then all madly start writing until someone (anyone playing) either picks up the brain (or in our case yelled it). You then get points for matching items. I had drugs, guitar, microphone and my partner to everyone's surprise (as it was my brother-in-law) matched me on drugs and guitar (he also had amps and drums). The twist to this game is you get more points on your "roll" if you meet or exceed the secret # you have rolled. This is where the strategy comes in. As only the roller knows the # they have to match and anyone can yell/pick up the brain. We played this game with a group that had 9-63 year olds. We did find that occasionally we would have to restart a topic as the 9year old didn't know it but overall there weren't many of them :) One of the new favorite family games.
Customer Review: Great Game!
I just got back from vacation in Arizona. The next to the last day we played LIKE MINDS. It was a blast from the start and we played it 3 times, and then played 4 more games the next day. To play you divide into teams of two (although we had 5 players, so one team had 3 players, with 1 player rotating out in each turn - worked great this way). To start play, a category is read and all players write down as many items in the category as they can, keeping in mind they want to match their partner. But there's a catch. Only one player from each team knows how many exact matches (1 to 4) are needed to win. So, when one of these players thinks their team has enough matches, they grab the plastic brain, and all play stops. If you make the goal, you score a big bonus, but miss it and you score zip. The teams not grabbing the brain score a modest amount, one point for each match, but no bonus. We had people playing from ages low 20s to low 60s, but teens could also play.
