What it is

The drawing game for family nights and groups who like shouting at a sketch. With four players it plays as two teams of two, and larger groups can split into as many as four teams. One teammate draws against a one-minute timer while the others guess, and a correct guess lets the team roll and move along a board of 55 squares. On All Play squares every team races to guess the same drawing.

What we love

  • All Play squares get every team involved at once
  • Five kinds of square keep the clues varied
  • Works from a small family up to a big crowd

Honest trade-offs

  • The word you draw and the die roll count for more than skill
  • A full game on the board can run past an hour
  • Drawing against a timer can stress reluctant artists
