DISRUPTUS™ by FUNNYBONE TOYS LLC

DISRUPTUS™ by FUNNYBONE TOYS LLCDisruptus taps into the innate ability of the creative mind to see things in surprisingly new and different ways, spurring players to new levels of innovation and creativity with bouts of silliness and hilarity erupting frequently along the way. Players look at images on the cards and follow whichever of the four innovation methods (Create 2, Improve, Transform, Disrupt) is face up on the die as they jot down their ideas with pencil and paper. The player with the craziest, most innovative idea for modifying the objects wins the round. There are several play variations for players of all ages and abilities.
