Game Rules

Objective

Setup

How to Play

  1. Starting the Game
    • Select one player to be the “Describer” for the round. This player will choose an object to describe.
    • The Describer should pick an object that can be described in detail without showing it to the other players.
  2. Describing the Object
    • The Describer gives a detailed description of the chosen object. This description can include size, shape, color, texture, and any other notable features.
    • Players can ask clarifying questions, but the Describer should not show the object or use gestures.
  3. Drawing the Object
    • All other players listen to the description and draw what they think the object looks like.
    • Players have a set amount of time to complete their drawings (e.g., 5-10 minutes).
  4. Revealing the Object
    • After the drawing time is up, the Describer reveals the actual object to the group.
    • Players compare their drawings to the real object and to each other’s drawings.
  5. Determining the Winner
    • The group decides whose drawing is the closest to the actual object based on accuracy and detail.
    • The winner can be chosen by consensus or by the Describer.
  6. Continuing the Game
    • The role of the Describer rotates to the next player for the next round, and the game continues as long as desired.

Winning the Game

  • The player with the most accurate drawing in each round wins that round. Multiple rounds can be played, and the player with the most wins at the end can be declared the overall winner.
