Give Me the Brain is a discard-style card game designed by James Ernest and released in 1996 by Cheapass Games.
The name derives from the theme; players assume the role of zombies attempting to complete their tasks for the day at Friedey's, a "fast food restaurant for the damned", yet they only have one brain to share between them. The game inspired several sequels, all set at Friedey's.
The original edition was the recipient of an Origins Award for Best Traditional Card Game of 1997. A Czech language version of the original game was released in 1997 with the name Dej sem mozek. An expanded Special Edition was released in 2002, and was nominated in the same category for the 2003 Origins Awards.
Just as Steve Jackson Games re-released Lord of the Fries in 2008, it was revealed at PAX 2010 that a third edition of Give Me the Brain would be released in the same manner.

“If you love the good thing vitally, enough to give up for it all that one must give up, then you must hate the cheap thing just as hard. I tell you, there is such a thing as creative hate! A contempt that drives you through fire, makes you risk everything and lose everything, makes you a long sight better than you ever knew you could be.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“In the beginning was the secret brain.
The brain was celled and soldered in the thought”
