OBJECT

Be the first team to reach eight (8) total won rounds. This is done by correctly guessing sketched picture clues.

PICKING TEAMS

Divide players into two teams. Gettin' Sketchy can help you break into teams if you don't want to do it yourself. The first team selects a Sketcher; all other first team players become Guessers. As one team sketches and guesses a name or phrase, the opposing team watches - play alternates between teams with each new name or phrase to be sketched.

Rotate the role of Sketcher on a team so that all team members have the opportunity to be Sketcher. Each time your team is up to draw a new name or phrase, select a new member of your team to be the Sketcher.

PLAYING THE GAME

1. Once a round begins, a clue is hidden and the timer is ready to begin.
2. The Sketcher secretly looks at the hidden clue.
3. The Sketcher starts the timer and the countdown begins.
4. The Sketcher then sketches a picture clue or clues of the card's name or phrase.

   Sketching Rules:

   • No letters, words or numbers can be drawn. Symbols such as dollar signs ($), arrows (), plus signs (+), etc... are acceptable. However, if part of the name or phrase is guessed correctly, you may write that word next to your sketch!
   • Never speak while sketching - but you may gesture to indicate whether a guess is close or off-track!
   • You may also draw an ear to mean "sounds like" and then sketch a rhyming word.
5. As the Sketcher sketches, the Sketcher's teammates start shouting out what they think is being drawn. Players can guess as many times as they want. Guessing is NOT done in turn! Part of a name or phrase can be considered acceptable guesses - it's up to the Sketcher to decide. For example, if a player guessed "Superman" in the TV Shows category, and the card stated the answer as "The Adventures of Superman", that answer could be considered correct.

6. The Scoring:

   If the Sketcher's team guesses correctly before the timer is emptied, the Sketcher's team gets one point and marks the score on a separate sheet of paper. It is now the opposing team's turn to sketch and guess a new name or phrase from a new card.

   If the Sketcher's team does not gueess correctly before the timer is emptied, they do not win the point. The opposing team gets ten seconds to make one guess to win the point.

   • If the opposing team guesses correctly, they win the point and mark the score on a separate sheet of paper. It is then their turn to scketch and guess a new name or phrase from a new card.
   • If the opposing team does not guess correctly, no one wins the point. It is now the opposing team's turn to sketch and guess a new name or phrase from a new card.

HOW TO WIN

Teams continue to play, sketching and guessing. The team who guesses 8 items correctly first wins!
