Brain Cells

Payers- 3-6 players

Objective- Be the first to collect 5 brain cells 

Materials- Trivia cards, brain cell tokens, memory cards, and whiteboards. 

Set-up- First, shuffle the trivia cards and set them in a pile. Next, shuffle the memory cards and lay out all of them face down. 

Starting the game- To start the game the person who broke a bone most recently will start first if no one broke a bone the shortest person starts. This person will then be the judge for the first round. During the first round, the judge will pick and then read the trivia question to the rest of the players. After the first round, the remaining players will flip two of the memory cards over to try and find a match. If players find a match they will discard the matched cards and receive a brain cell token. After these two rounds, the judge will rotate clockwise and repeat. 

Round 1- During round one the judge will read the trivia question to the group without showing the card since the answer will be written on the card. The players will then write their answers on the whiteboard and when everyone is ready they will all flip their boards at the same time. Whoever got the question right will move to round two, if not, you will play when the judge switches. If no one got the question right, the judge will have the chance to move to round two. 

Round 2- During round 2, the players who have made it through will be able to pick two memory cards and flip them over. If they are a match, you will remove those cards and place them in a discard pile and receive a brain cell token. If they are not a match, you will simply turn them back over. Once everyone has taken their turn the judge will then change and you will start back over. 

Discard pile- If all the memory cards are chosen, you can re-shuffle the cards and lay them back out.
