Cariboo: Is there a difference between the Cranium and Hasbro versions of the Cariboo game-other than price?

Thanks for tipping me off that Hasbro now markets Cariboo! I was searching all over for it around Christmas time and couldn't figure out what had happened to it. It looks as if Hasbro has Hullaballoo, too, which I understand is now better (level/speed adjustable) than when I bought one a couple years ago. On the amazon reviews here some people complain about the durability of the Cariboo Hasbro cards, so maybe that's the kind of difference we would see between the two sets.

I have not owned the first edition of the game, but from what I understand after a lot of research before I purchased was that it is basically the same game. Some inconsistencies were corrected and the characters were designed slightly differently, but it is basically the exact same game. Just updated slightly.

I don't believe there is a difference, not one that I am aware of at least. It's a fun game though I can tell you that!

Sorry, I don't know. But if you see the Hasbros' web page, you'll probably find find the answer.

Hi Kendyl,Yes this is the listing for the "original" larger game. You will see that there is also a statement that there is a newer version - this is the one one you do NOT want to purchase.

No, it is not the same version. The one on TRU is the collectors edition. That one has fabric overalls, has 30 sayings and will speak back to you. This one the overalls are plastic, has 55 sayings and does not respond to your voice.

It's the older version. My son received the new version for Christmas and I couldn't stand it so I bought him the same one I played as a child.

I opened mine this christmas, and unfortunately had two of the same wing. Neither Hasbro or Amazon would provide a replacement part. I had to return for a refund, or in the case of hasbro, another product. Love the ship, so dont want to be without it, so only thing I can hope is I may be able to find someone who has two of the other side, and swap

Looking at the other answers, it seems to vary, depending when the game was ordered. The one I got was the original version.

Hi Tracey N. I took a look and I really don't know what the difference is. I wish I could tell you. I read both descriptions and they both match the game we have, so I am not sure. Perhaps you could try looking on the manufacturers web site for more information. I am sorry I cannot give you a better answer.

No, this is just the expansion pack. You could try looking for a bundle that includes both games. :)

I believe that Hasbro did make these, but I think they discontinued them. I'm not 100% sure so don't quote me on it.

Yeah, I'm confused too. I see the Canadian version in the first picture but when I mouse over and click the the picture thumbnail on the bottom I see the original Cranium picture. Can someone who's already bought this item, please explain. Thanks!

It really doesnt matter which copy you get because with limited edition all you get is really nice 24 page art book. But overall there is really no significant difference in the game. You can get either one but at the time limited edition was pricier than standard.

True. I just bought the Death Angel card game last week and paid $180 to buy Space Hulk (3rd edition). $300 is too much for any bored game. You can still find the 3rd edition on ebay if you still want it. Also, I've heard that Level 7 Protocol is like Space Hulk but improved. I haven't read any reviews absent of nostalgia for Space Hulk, so I'm not sure what to expect not having grown up with it. Have you managed to find a copy? If so, what do you think of it?

Apparently you get the bow earlier in the game and a few other features, which didn't mean a lot, honestly I only bought the Hunter's edition because it was pretty much the same price as the regular edition, but if there is a cheaper version of the original $10 or so cheaper, I would say that is a batter choice.
