PLAYED FOR YOU

Twisted Eyes

Distortion and Distraction

Another run-of-the-mill drawing game? Yes, in a way, but not quite, albeit one team member drawing and the others guessing at the image, but the person drawing has to wear special glasses.

Let’s start with preparations – you make up two to four teams from a minimum of two players to each team, and if possible there should be the same number of players in each team. The basic mechanism of the game is the same as in all other drawing games – one team member draws, the others must guess the object within the time frame given on the task card. The person who draws must wear special distortion glasses in which special lenses are placed that make it hard to see your drawing. The lenses come in three degrees of difficulty, yellow for easy, blue for medium and green for difficult. The images themselves are taking from the categories object, entertainment and locations, the back sides of the cards are marked accordingly for a first clue. You roll the die and move the team marker to the next spot of this color on the board. Then you put the lenses of the same color into the glasses and the current team artist draws a task card and rolls the die again for his image.

The artist must not talk or gesture, he cannot use letters or numbers in his drawing and must remain seated while drawing. When the team members guess correctly in time you roll again and move the team marker forward. The team whose marker reaches the finish first wins the game.

Standard mechanisms for a standard party game for friends and families, spiced up and made more challenging with those glasses – a nice, fun game which is absolutely worth a try!
