About this deal

Each team has eleven Colour Cards in their hand. To answer the question, work out which colour to put down. Can you remember the colour of the jewel in Princess Jasmine's hairband? Or the five colours of the Incredibles' suits? This Disney variant, unsurprisingly, tailors all the questions to Disney and all its characters, films and tv shows. The questions have a surprisingly wide range and can be more difficult than you’d expect. But this is a great version of Colourbrain for families, or too mix in with the main game or use the questions from for your little super fans!

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. 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. 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 Our latest game review for Big Potato Games is Colour Brain - Disney Edition. Suitable for 2-12 players aged 8+, this is a question and answer game where every answer is a colour. 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!There is also a Junior edition available if you have little ones who want to show off their knowledge.

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 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.

Put the video game controller down, pause Netflix, and stop learning that new TikTok dance craze as it’s time to dust off that collection of board games that have been lying dormant in the attic since 1998. The Colourbrain game from Big Potato is a simple family trivia game where all the answers are colours. Players split into teams and each team is given 11 different EDITION coloured cards. Colourbrain is different from other quiz games because teams begin with all the potential answers in their hands. The game begins with a colour-related question. Teams choose which card (or cards) to play and the first team to do so shouts COLOUR BRAIN "colourbrain!" The other teams now have 10 seconds to follow suit.It’s fair to say that Disney have produced their fair share of movies. And bought their fair share of smaller companies to bring them under the Disney umbrella. In fact, most everything may be Disney in the future! For now, however, the wide selection is still incredibly vast… so does Disney Colourbrain cater to this wide palette of variety? Yes it does. And it does so with surprising reach!

It takes hours to finish and you will unfortunately discover a sinister side to your fellow competitors, but Monopoly is the ultimate family-pleaser. 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. The original Codenames is a breakout party game that’s been a hit with both board game hobbyists and family gamers alike. You lay out a grid of word cards, divide into two teams, and one player on each team takes the role of clue-giver, who knows which cards on the grid “belong” to each team. The catch is they’re only allowed to think up one-word clues to link as many cards as they can together for their team-mates to guess. As an alternative, you can have a single team playing co-operatively to see how fast they can guess all the clues.

There are words on one side and pictures on the other so it can be enjoyed across all ages. 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.

Enjoyed by both the adults in our house and loved by the kids, ColourBrain Disney Edition is the type of game that brings families together around the table, it’s fast enough to set up that kids don’t get bored waiting and it’s interesting enough to hold the attention of the smallest players for a good while. My kids have requested we replay it five days out of seven this week already. 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. Brand new for 2020 is Junior Colourbrain, suitable for kids aged six and above. There are 120 questions all suitable for youngsters coveringa range of topics from Mario Kart -120 and Harry Potter to wild animals.COLOURFUL ANSWERS: Each team has eleven Colour Cards in their hand. To answer the question, work out which colour to put down! The questions in Disney Colourbrain come from the whole world of Disney, including Pixar movies and Winnie the Pooh. 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. 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.
