Full Rules

1. Receive Challenge (If playing with challenges)

If challenges are turned on, occasional challenge rounds will be announced during the game.

CHALLENGES:

• Ready, Set, Draw – Players draw their clue without a special rule. (NOTE: All games start with a Ready, Set, Draw round.)
• Switch your Hand – Players must use their opposite hand to draw the clue.
• No Peeking! – Players must draw with their eyes closed.
• Helping Hand – Before starting the timer, everyone gives their board to the player on their right. Have them draw a single segment (without knowing the clue) and then hand the board back.
• Hands Free – Players cannot use their hands. They can hold the marker with anything else, like their chin or teeth.
• Speed Round – This is a quick draw challenge with a very short timer.

2. Draw Clues

Each player takes a clue card, keeping it secret. Tap "START TIMER" on the app to start the timer.

When the timer starts, all players quickly draw their clues. When the timer stops, players must put down their markers, whether they are finished or not.

IMPORTANT: Players must draw with the logo at the top of the board. Also, only draw lines and don't fill in areas. Only draw on the white area of the board.

3. Place Tokens

Without revealing the clue cards, players must use both of their tokens to predict whether or not the AI will guess the clue.

Place the + token on a drawing board you think the AI will guess correctly and the – token on a drawing board you think the AI will not guess correctly.

NOTE: Don't place tokens directly on drawings as they may smudge.

Players cannot use either token on their own drawing!

4. AI Guesses

One at a time, players set their drawings into the holder. The AI will then attempt to guess the player's clue. You may be asked to move the board closer or farther away.

5. Advance Movers

Players advance 1 space on the board when:

• The AI guesses their drawing correctly.
• They place a + token on a drawing that the AI guesses correctly.
• They place a – token on a drawing the AI does not guess correctly.
• A player has all other players' – tokens on their drawing, but the AI does guess it correctly.

IMPORTANT: Wipe the board completely clean before starting the next round. If there are marks or smudges, the AI may detect them as parts of a drawing.

Winning the Game

The first player to reach the finish space on the gameboard wins!

In the event of a tie, flip over a single clue card. All tied players race to draw the clue. In order of players who stop drawing and drop their marker the fastest, players take turns scanning their drawings. The first player whose drawing is correctly guessed by the AI wins!

Helpful Hints

• Lost marker? Most dark-colored markers with a round tip should work!
• For best results, use a damp cloth to clean the board.
• Play in a bright room, but avoid shadows on the erasable board while the AI is scanning.

No challenges or timer.

Co-Op 2-Player Game

Tokens, board and movers are not used.

Each turn, players alternate who gives the clues and who draws.

The player with the clue card tells the other player what to draw, but cannot reveal details of the clue.

For example:

• Correct (checkmark): "Draw two circles. Draw a line connecting them. Now draw a T on top of the line."
• Incorrect (X): "Draw two wheels, now connect them. Add handle bars on top."

For each clue the AI correctly guesses, place that clue card faceup. For each clue the AI incorrectly guesses, place that clue card face down. If you have more faceup cards after 10 rounds of play, you both win!
