Description (977 chars)

Cranium Bumparena is the outrageous game that will have everyone on the edge of their seat. Guide the bouncy balls into your goal by adding and pivoting bumpers on the Bumparena board. But watch out! When the balls start to fall, you never know which way they'll roll. The first player to score six goals wins. Bumparena combines the high-energy excitement of pinball with the strategic challenge of a 3-D maze. No two games are the same, but each one is full of laughter and suspense. Quick and easy to play, Bumparena is perfect for any occasion, and although it's designed for kids 7 and up, everyone will enjoy its unpredictable fun. The object of Bumparena is to be the first player or team to score six goals. Take turns drawing and playing cards that allow you to add or pivot bumpers and add or move balls on the Bumparena board. If you draw a Release Now card, release all the balls immediately! When the balls start to fall, you never know which way they'll roll.
