An Outline of Play
To help you get a better grasp of how to play Telestrations, we will provide an outline that might assist you. For those that remember the old game "telephone", in which messages are whispered from person to person, all the way to the last person. What the last player shares, differs significantly from what the first player said.
SHALL WE BEGIN?
The card box is placed in the middle of the group of players. Each player then grabs one of the plastic coiled sketchbooks, one marker and one card: each card has 6 words on each side of it. Each player must then write their name on the front of their sketchbook.
It's important that players remember the color of their sketchbook! Each player then selects one of the word or phrases from the card they have and write it in their sketchbook, but not share what they wrote with anyone.
NOW THE FUN BEGINS
Now each player turns to "SKETCH IT" PAGE #1. Each player now draws their interpretation of what the word/phrase they just read is. Once done with that, each player turns to GUESS IT - PAGE #2, to hide their sketch. Now each player passes their sketchbook to the person on their left.
Now it's time for guessing! Everyone should be on the same page, GUESS IT - Page #2. Here comes the fun part! Each player must flip back one page to secretly glance at the drawing that's there and then flip back to the GUESS IT - Page #2 and write down their guess of what they think what they just saw might be.
Each player now flips the page they wrote their guess on forward to the next page, then passes the sketechbook to the person to their left. Everyone continues to sketch, pass and guess until players get their own sketchbook back. NOTE: Everyone's sketchbook should end with a guess.
Just like the game "Telephone", you have the big big reveal of everyone comparing what they conveyed in comparison to what was said at the start.
Now the players exchange review each of the sketckooks and their pages, comparing one against another. It's a total barrel of lauughs to no end!
