] The game is played on a board made up of train carriages, printed on eight double-sided boards. As the players move forward through the carriages, new ones are added and old ones fall off, giving a varied and changing game board. "The Great Brain Robbery" was the first Cheapass board game to come in a sturdy cardboard box. It includes 25 brain cards.

In 2001, "The Great Brain Robbery" won the Origins Award for "Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Board Game 2000". [cite web
