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.

Famous quotes containing the words give me, give and/or brain:
“Karen: I never knew it could be like this. Nobody ever kissed me the way you do.
Sergeant Warden: Nobody?
Karen: No, nobody.
Sergeant Warden: Not even one? Out of all the men you’ve been kissed by?
Karen: Well, that would take some figuring. How many men do you think there’ve been?
Sergeant Warden: I wouldn’t know. Can’t you give me a rough estimate?
Karen: Not without an adding machine.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
“It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“What, girl, though grey
Do something mingle with our younger brown, yet ha’ we
A brain that nourishes our nerves, and can
Get goal for goal of youth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
