Read the full game description

Brain Fart is a party game where you must name something from a category before the time ends. One player rolls 9 cubes which contain a total of 54 categories. After the roll the brain timer is pressed and it displays a letter. Players then take turns to name something starting with the displayed letter and then grab the appropriate category cube when they answer. Play ends when the brain "farts." If the brain farts during your turn the round ends and you must take a chip. Note: The timer is random between 30 and 45 seconds. Continue to play until the pile of chips is gone. Winner is player with least amount of chips.
