PLAYED FOR YOU

The game features 85 Who, Where and What cards which are stacked separately. Each player draws one Who, Where and What card and looks at it secretly, you must keep them hidden from your fellow players. Then you turn over the timer and draw a scene using the content of all three cards, an example might be A ghost – Tennis Play – In a canoo. You cannot simply draw three separate items, you must combine them into a sketch. Letters and numbers cannot be used in your drawing and you are not allowed to talk to other players while all are drawing. This drawing phase lasts until the timer has run out. Now all stop drawing and the first player turns over the timer again and shows his own drawing. Now all players can guess at the three terms that make up the sketch while the timer runs. When a player guesses one of the terms used correctly, the player tells him so. You are also allowed to tell the guessers if they are very near to the correct solution. It is also allowed to accept near-misses or synonyms as correct, for instance “School” instead of “Classroom” can is acceptable. For each part of the three-part sketch that is guessed correctly both artist and guesser are given a chip. After three rounds you win with most chips. In a game for two the artist only scores when all items have been guessed, the guesser gets a chip when he gets a part-term right.

This is a lot of fun not only for children, but for the whole family. The combinations of terms guarantees lots of laughter; the terms are easy enough for some on with no artistic talent to participate, basic shapes are sufficient.
