Hilarious game that can remind to Dixit, in a less artistic way. It's not about drawing well it's about drawing fast and clear. Great sensations

In the first round of this game, we used the basic deck of cards, and people were pretty much done with the game after that. Everyone except the player who brought it hated the time pressure of needing to both draw, look at the cards with the possible word choices and then guess at in the same phase. For the second round, we whipped out the highest level of difficult cards. That's when the game changed from frustrating to fun. The high level cards are all either abstract concepts, or they are super similar to other words. For example one card had the drawing prompts "liquid" "water" and "fluid" or something like that. The player drawing gets assigned one of these, and wants people to make the right guess based on his drawing. Very interesting. I would play this again, but only using the high level cards. ★ Art, Iconography and components functional ☆ Clever or interesting mechanisms ★ Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players ★ Multiple plays stay interesting ★ Low or mitigatable luck elements ★★☆☆☆ Raw enjoyment
