Where but in the game industry would I find a game company with a such a name that if I pronounce it I give up my Lenten vows? Cheapass Games is a great company, and there's little more that I can add to what is a great game…but hey, I'm a screaming jackass so I'll add my bray to the fray.

In Give Me The Brain you play a zombie fast food worker trying to complete various tasks in the restaurant. As a player you're simply trying to empty your hand, but some of the cards in your hand require the brain. How do you get the brain? By bidding at the beginning of the game, by bidding after someone drops it after failing a task, by having someone actually give you the brain, by making someone drop it…"Look, a monkey!" These are accomplished through the play of bidding and other cards in your hand. The cards are nicely balanced, and play is fast. though this is another game where my sister waxed me justly. Its what I deserve for being an older brother.

The cards are nicely illustrated, but I worry that they'll disintegrate after heavy use…its $5 who cares? You're not going to find a better use for your gaming dollar. Old and new gamers alike will love this game. It gets an "A."

Style: 4 (Classy and well done)
Substance: 5 (Excellent!)
