From the Publisher:
'The phenomenal new board game where college life collides with pop culture. Cram! is the intensely competitive laughing, guessing, acting, drawing, singing, shouting game for your whole body. On the riotously fictional Cram State University campus, players form "Study groups" to move around the campus and engage in various high energy, pop culture related courses including Cramspeak, GroupTroups, TimeTrivial, Illustronomy, Lyriculous, and Slangshot. Watch out! Your extra-curricular goofing off might affect your grades! Ages 13 and up, absolutely no real education required!'
Players are formed into two teams (study groups). Each group circles the board (the campus) twice, stopping to be graded on challenges (classrooms). From the winning study group, the two players with the highest score (grade) go on to compete for Doctor of Culturology.
From the box:
'Cramspeak - use sounds, gestures, words, phrases and charades to get your StudyGroup to shout out the right answers.
GroupTroupes - Shout out answers based upon a performance by your entire StudyGroup.
Illustronomy - Your StudyGroup must guess the answers based upon your multiple drawings.
TimeTrivial - Your entire StudyGroup must guess the correct answer to a multiple choice trivia question.
Lyriculous - You sing the tune to a popular song and your StudyGroup has to name it.
SlangShot - Your StudyGroup must provide as many slang words for a common word or phrase as possible.'
This game was the winner of the "All Star Radio Networks" 2002 Party Game of the Year.
