Answer 1

Here are links to the rules of the game.  They should help you.

Answer 2

I hope this helps.

GAME RULES:

Choose the color of your tokens. Each player takes all the tokens of one color. (If you have more than four players, see the special instructions for team play on the back page .)

Open up the board, take all the goodies out of the box, and set them up so everyone can see everything.

You’re ready to start Cadoo! The youngest player goes first.

1. Get ready

Cranium Cadoo is the all-new, outrageously fun game designed especially for kids. With a variety of hilarious activities, Cranium Cadoo will get you thinking, creating, giggling, and grinning as you go for a four-in-a-row Cadoo to win.

Cranium Cadoo Die

Roll it to see which deck of cards you draw from.

Timer

Beat the timer on every challenge.

Secret Decoder Mask

Use this to read the secret words or answers on the cards!

Cranium Clay®

Make fun stuff.

Tokens

Get a four-in-a-row Cadoo to win!

Paper and Pencil

Draw cool things.

COMBO Cards

The other players guess what you are doing.  If somebody shouts it out, you share the same spot on the board.

SOLO Cards

You do these on your own. You can complete your four-in-a-row Cadoo only with a SOLO card.

How to play in teams

If you have more than four players, you can play Cadoo in teams.  A team can be any number of people, from one to four or more.  

In teams, game play works almost the same.   When it’s your team’s turn, roll the die and draw your SOLO or COMBO card.  If your team rolls a SOLO, you and your teammates do the challenge on the card together. The other teams watch and check your answer.  If your team rolls a COMBO, choose one player on your team to do the challenge while all the other teams try to guess. (The people on your team don’t guess.)  If another team shouts out the correct answer, both teams place tokens on the board.

Your team chooses the spot.

2. Get started  

3. Place your tokens

4. Get a Cadoo to win

Be the first to get a four-in-a-row Cadoo and you win! But you can win only on a SOLO card!  Say you have three tokens in a row and you roll a COMBO. You can still do the COMBO, and you still get to place tokens if you succeed–you just can’t choose the spot that would complete your Cadoo. Only a SOLO card gives you a chance to go for that fourth winning spot.

What if nobody gets a Cadoo?

This happens sometimes. Keep playing until the board is full.   The player with the most tokens on the board wins the game.  

Roll the die to see which kind of card you get–SOLO or COMBO.

Draw your own card and read it out loud so everyone can hear you.  Your card tells you what to do and how to place tokens if you succeed.

Start the timer when you’re ready to begin your Cadoo challenge. Can you beat the timer? Congratulations!

You’re on your way to a Cadoo.

Pass the die to the player on your left. Your turn ends after one card.

Object of the Game

Be the first to get a Cadoo (four tokens in a row–across, up, down, or diagonally) and win!

If You Succeed On a Solo Card

Way to go! Put one token on any open spot. No one can place a token on top of yours.

If You Succeed On a Combo Card

Excellent! You put one token on any open spot, and the player who shouted out the right answer puts a token on top of yours. Both of you can use that spot to go for your four-in-a-row Cadoo. If nobody guesses correctly, you may not place tokens on the board.
