Party board game
Cranium is a party game created by Whit Alexander and Richard Tait in 1998.[1] Initially, Cranium was sold through Amazon.com and the Starbucks coffee chain, then-novel methods of distribution.[1] After selling 44 million copies of Cranium and its sister titles,[1] the game's manufacturer Cranium, Inc. was bought by Hasbro, Inc. for $77.5 million in 2008.[2] Billed as "The Game for Your Whole Brain", Cranium includes a wide variety of activities, unlike many other party games. Giorgio Davanzo handles packaging and branding for the game, and the artwork is by cartoonist Gary Baseman.
