or is just better for kids? I heard the words are sometimes too easy to draw like for example palm tree, banana. that make the game boring I think. there is any way to make the words difficult to draw?
it's a group sketch/drawing "game", not getting into the specifics beyond that, but let me say it again for those in the back, it's a game that requires you to draw.
*draw*, on *the amico*.
now, unless california has unlocked some level of alien super weed, i can't fathom how anyone was convinced this was a good idea, much less possible. even copium isn't this strong. maybe he has stared into the eye of god and beheld truth in it's ultimate form, and it's telestrations on the amico.
am i just a know nothing brute who just needs to wait and try it before i judge it? or can i say, from a distance that, no, in fact this is a terrible idea that will 100% not work with the controllers? the screens are 3.4in & 320 x 240!
i know you can use cell phones, but you can also use paper and pen or notebooks. maybe you will be able to sync tablets to the amico, but then, everyone needs a tablet. pay +$250 for something to sync phones/tablets together for a game that is just passing around drawings and laughing at them. unabated madness.
and as a final aside, for fucks sake people, do not, under any circumstances, have an amico day
In the style of the board game of the same name, it's like telephone but with crappy drawings!

Link takes you to an Imgur showing you the entire round that happened. I’ve played this game a TON and I’ve never seen that happen before. We rolled a 4 chose a side, and the ending picture ended up being the “4” word on the other side of the same card. Crazy coincidence.

Customer Reviews:
Got this just in time for Christmas and ended up playing a lot more than I initially assumed. It’s evidently a silly game, which is nice because you spend a lot of time laughing together. Everyone can just sit around a table with their drinks and the included drawing pads without needing to be too active like some of the more party oriented games can be. | The 12 player limit is also pretty cool cause just because you can include a lot of people in the game. It also adds more time for the secret words to get distorted into something funny. | All in all, everyone really enjoyed the game and I’m sure i’ll be bringing it to future family gatherings.
Here it is: drawphone.tannerkrewson.com
It's completely free and open-source. Just gather four or more friends or family members and have them go to that URL on their smartphones and tablets.
The gameplay is similar to games like Telestrations, Scrawl, Scribblish, and Eat Poop You Cat. Essentially, everyone receives a random word and has to draw it. Next, everyone passes their drawing to another player and they guess what those drawings were. Then, those guesses are passed and drawn, and so on. It's a hilarious & simple game that can even be played with family.
I've found that Drawphone has a few advantages over the physical games:
- You don't have to worry about markers running out or erasing drawings. Drawing on a phone screen is not very precious in comparison, but bad drawings end up adding to the fun.
- With the physical games, the booklets are passed in a circle, so everyone will always get the word or drawing from the same person. This doesn't happen in Drawphone, as they are passed randomly.
- To speed up the game, Drawphone employs an optional drawing timer which will only allow players to draw for 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 seconds before the game auto submits the drawing. Drawing something in just 5 seconds is always a hilarious challenge!
- Best of all, Drawphone completely holds the players hands throughout the whole game, so there is minimal explaining to do beforehand, and they can't mess it up. Even if they accidentally close their browser, Drawphone allows them or any other device to join the game in their place, and it will continue right where they left off.
- The number of people who can play the physical games is limited by how many booklets come with the game. With Drawphone, there is no limit to how many people can play, so you can include everyone. I've never tried it, but you could theoretically have hundreds of people in one game!
- And, Drawphone is free!
Christmas is just a few days away, so feel free to try Drawphone out with your family and friends. It would mean the world to me to bring some joy into your holidays! If you guys have any suggestions or issues, feel free to message me or comment below.
Thanks! :)
EDIT 2: I'm glad everyone is liking it so far! I've been loving the feedback, too. In fact, I just finished adding three new features that you guys suggested:
- A game option which allows players to write wha
I plan to grab the rules for Just One and play using the Codenames cards. I'll probably try Trapwords, too.
Are there any other well regarded games in this space that would be worth trying with these components?
I know I'm probably opening pandoras box here but feel free to comment if you have any feedback for telestration improvement. There's no guarantee it will be there or that I'll be doing it in the future but I'm always looking to improve it. Keep in mind there's a lot of limitations and constraints but there's probably some good ways to make it better as well!
I’m thinking of buying a second set of Telestrations so that my entire classroom can play together.
I’m concerned that 16 players simultaneously won’t work and I’ll be wasting money. Does anyone have experience playing Telestrations with large groups?
