Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Within a minute you must draw an image depicting one 2640 terms or phrases in a way that enables your team to guess the term or phrase correctly. The teams alternate in drawing, guessing and supervising the active team until the marker of one of the teams crosses the finish line. The category is determined by the roll of the die, but first the active player decides on a side of the card drawn and on one of the columns. The timer runs for 30 seconds, if the supervising team forgets to start it again, the additional time is added to the minute. The terms and phrases come from categories "Among Humans", "Nature & Environment", "Science & Technology", "A few things", "Tasks & Activities" and "Motley", for each correctly guessed item you advance the marker one step. Contents: game board, 110 Imago cards, 1 timer (30 seconds), one die, 2 playing pieces, one unprinted block, 1 pencil,
