Cranium Knetkünstler

Accident in space

The Cranium crew travels through space in their spaceship, but the ship is hit by an asteroid and looses items - players cooperate to collect the things before the cheeky alien grabs them as he is very interested in those items from Earth!

Eight cards are laid out face-down on the board, the space ship chip sits in the middle. Spaceship windows are placed, and the Alien begins on case 1 of his slime track. Players are sculpting artists in turn: You move the spaceship chip on a case with card, pick up the card from there - not visible for the other players! - and sculpt the item. At the same time, the sand timer is turned over and you have a minute to sculpt a shape that lets your fellow players guess the term; you can also use gestures to communicate. When your fellow players give the right guess within a minute, the item is deemed to be retrieved and the card is slotted into one of the spaceship windows. If the item is not guessed within the run-time of the timer, or if the card you pick up shows the Alien, the Alien advances one step on his slime track and the the card is removed from play. In any case, a new face-down card is drawn and placed on the case with the spaceship chip.

If you retrieve four items before the alien reaches the final mark, all players win together.

If players manage to retrieve four items before the Alien arrives at the last mark on his track, all win together; if not, the Alien pinches the things and the game is lost.

Creativity for young ones, with a nice story and terms that are easily sculpted, like boat or birthday cake, always presented as an image and by the word.
