[edit] Gameplay
Three to eight players can play in a game. A maximum of eight rounds is played in each game (depending on the number of players) with each player having a turn to draw. If the maximum number of players is three or four, each player has two turns to draw, therefore the minimum number of rounds in a game is five.
During an artist's turn, they are given two minutes to draw ten words. They may choose to draw or skip each word. The guesser and artist both score 50 points for a correct guess. There is no penalty for an incorrect guess. The artist may click good guesses, to signal to the guessers that they on the right track (the words turn green). When the artist's two minutes expire, his turn is over and the other players are shown the words the artist was unable to draw. An artist's turn can also end if he successfully draws all ten of his words.
The turn of the artist goes round clockwise of the table, and the game is over when each player has drawn. The player with the highest score wins the game.
[edit] Varieties
You can either play free-for-all or a team game. Letters and numbers can be forbidden in a game to prevent cheating, which may result a "booting" by the host of the table if the rule is broken.
The team game follows the same rules as above, but you can only guess the word when one of the players on your team is drawing. The points are awarded to all team members.
