Telestrations: a game like Telephone (passing whispered words from ear to ear), but with drawing and writing instead.
Result: fits of laughter
I've played the "poor man's" version of this game before, paper, pencil, fold it, pass it. Man, I should have invested in this game earlier. It's so much easier having the dry erase flip boards instead. The subject cards make choosing a topic to draw simple, and when you get an impossible topic to draw, the laughter ensues. It's a great party game. Involves lots of people.
Imagine your dad getting the word "locksmith"
He decides to draw a lock (of course)
and then draws "Joseph Smith's first vision" to get you to guess "Smith"
Somehow your brother knows exactly what he meant to draw.
What?!?!?!?!?
But no one gets it after that, and errors fly across it's pages.
I seriously wondered if that much laughter could be bad for the baby in my tummy!
The scoring system doesn't seem worth keeping up with, but really, we're playing the game for the laughs, not the points.
Good thing there were plenty of dry erase markers, because 2 (was it 3?) leaked on us and we threw them away.
We got to the point beyond bedtime....and still played another game. It was THAT good! I love the stuff #USAopoly, #Telestrations and #Tryazon come up with!!
