📖 About This Game
Do you have what it takes to turn a mess into a masterpiece? The game is simple: make the best use of your rough shape in just 45 seconds. It’s not the shape that matters — it’s how you use it. One player holds up a secret word card (they don’t know what it is), revealing the word to the other players who race to grab a card with a funky shape from the center. Using their dry erase markers, players illustrate the secret word incorporating their shape. After 45 seconds, they reveal their drawings. If the guesser can figure out what the word is, they award the card to whoever they think used the shape best. The more creative, the better shape you’ll be in to win.
