This game is similar to Cranium but a little bit wackier. Players make their way around the board, performing actions based on cards you pick up along the way.

iMAgiNiff lets you get to know your family and friends on a whole new level. Choose a set of names (those playing the game, plus people you all know) and write them on the board. Each round, one name is selected to be the subject of a card, and everyone must give their answer based on their knowledge of that person. The cards ask a hilarious range of questions, such as “if ____ were a fruit, what would they be?” and “if ____ were a piece of clothing, what would they be?”
