"drawing"

2009 · 4-8 Players · ~20-30 min · Cooperative / Party

Telestrations is the board game version of telephone meets Pictionary, and the results are almost always hilarious. Players alternate between drawing a word and guessing what the previous person drew, passing their sketchbook around the table until the original prompt has been gloriously mangled. Bad artists make the game better, not worse, and the laughter it generates is more genuine than almost any other party game on the market. Scoring is pointless and everyone knows it, the components could be better, and you need at least six people for the full effect, but when Telestrations works, nothing else in the hobby produces this much pure joy.
