"Here's the tricky (and not so fun) part: the NEXT Whoozit (the person on the left of the previous Whoozit) gets the DISCARDED cards from the other players PLUS 2 or 3 new cards (depending on how many people are playing). Not only can this get confusing, but it can get FRUSTRATING. If a card that NO ONE likes is in play (say, Watching Race Car Driving), then that card stays in play. "
Easy solution, give a bonus for putting in the lowest card too...

My family really likes Cranium Whoonu, as do their friends who come to our home. We bring the game out 2-3 times a week and play a few quick rounds.
As others have noted, you are given cards, one person is the "whoozit", and then you select cards from your hand that you think will be the whoozit's favorite thing.
The whoozit then places the cards in order of preference next to point tokens - his favorite thing will be next to the highest point token, his next favorite thing next to the next highest point token, and so on. This ranking is actually a very nice feature of the game, EVERYONE ends up with a token so you don't have one child who ends up empty handed every time (as has happened to us with Apples to Apples, for instance).
We are always amused and surprised by how the whoozit actually ranks his cards - who knew my oldest son hated zoos because of all the hills he has to walk? Who knew my daughter preferred remote controls to fairs?
This game requires reading, but otherwise, there is no reason to wait for a child to be eight before playing
Fun. A different kind of game. July 3, 2007

It turns out that this toy is inappropriate for my autistic son, (I hoped it might have "conversational value"). However, for "typical" kids, at the "guessing" age, this must really fun. I am keeping it for later!
Note: 4 stars for durability only, because cards / tokens can get lost, but otherwise nothing "fragile" there at all.
Fun toy that promotes conversation May 17, 2007

It's a kind of what's your favorite thing game. It's fun and can promote conversation between family members about why they enjoy or don't enjoy certain things.
Not educational but fun. Too hard for little kids like 7 of younger, they don't seem to get the concept.

Want to find out how your kids feel about certain things? Here is a chance. Each round has 1 person being the whoozit. All other players choose 2 cards from their hand of 4, that they think the Whoozit will like most. The whoozit then privately goes through and ranks the cards in order of most liked to least liked. You might be surprised by the answers! It's a lot of fun, easy and quick. My kids love this game. And as a bonus, my daughter wanted so badly to play, that she started reading, just to keep up with her older brother. I call that a BIG bonus. You can't go wrong with Cranuim games. Their support is second to none.
