2 to 30 playersFake Artist: one of you does not know what you are drawing
Inspired by the board game A Fake Artist Goes to New York. Everyone knows the word except one player, who only knows the category. Together you draw one picture, line by line, and the fake has to blend in.

How to play
- One player is secretly the fake artist. Everyone else sees the word, for example "Giraffe". The fake only sees the category, "Animals".
- In turn, everyone adds one continuous line to the shared drawing, each in their own colour. There is no undo.
- After one to three laps, everyone votes for who they think the fake is.
- The fake is caught only with strictly the most votes. A caught fake gets one guess at the word and still wins if it is right.
Scoring
- The fake gets away: 300 points for the fake.
- The fake is caught but guesses the word: 200 points for the fake.
- The fake is caught and guesses wrong: 100 points for every artist.
- Every correct vote: 50 points.
Settings
Rounds (1 to 10), lines per player (1 to 3), time per line (15 to 30 seconds) and vote time.
Tips
- As an artist, draw something that proves you know the word without giving it away.
- As the fake, wait for the others' lines and add a safe detail.
- A line that fits almost anything is suspicious.
