BRAINBOX COLOUR AND CREATE, GREEN BOARD GAMES
Green Board Games is kicking off the year with an ‘exciting collaboration’ between the popular Mister Maker brand and the multi award-winning BrainBox series with the BrainBox Colour and Create. Combining the ten second brain challenge with a mix of creative play with colour-your-own cards and write-your-own questions, the game has already scooped two awards: BTHA’s Game of the Year and Game of the Year in the Toy Talk Awards. The game challenges players to study a
card for ten seconds, then answer a question on the reverse of the card, decided by the roll of a dice. If the question is answered correctly, the card is kept. The person with the most number of cards after five or ten minutes is crowned the winner. BrainBox Colour and Create was launched with the aid of Mister Maker himself at the London Toy Fair 2014 and is available to retailers across the UK now.
