Funny from the Get-Go
Fun from start to finish, Scribblish first requires each of the six players to choose a captioned card. Up against the clock, players must apply their scribbling skills as they each draw a picture to match the caption on their card. After the timer stops, players cover their images with their Scribble Scroll and roll the die to see who they'll pass their picture to.

From there, all players must write, draw, and interpret what they see on the card for each timed round. Figure out which picture leads to your original card, or get voted as having the funniest caption or image to gain points. The results are almost always hilarious and the game is wonderfully addictive.

A Built-In Element of Surprise
Thanks to the Scribble Scrolls, players will have to rely on their imaginations to win. Scribblish allows each person only one clue--either a caption or an image--to create the text or image to match what's on the card.

Much like in the childhood game of Telephone, clues change, evolve, and stretch further from their original captions as the players interpret what they see. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to turn this into that!

Two Ways to Win
You don't have to be Picasso to win this drawing game. Players can claim victory by correctly guessing which final image comes from their original card, or by being voted as having the best drawing or caption. Because each picture or comment is done by a different person, each player has an even chance of figuring out which scroll is theirs.

Players can reward the clowns and artists in the group by placing tokens next to the caption or image they like best.

What's in the Box
60 Scribblish cards, timer, six Scribble Scrolls, tablet of playing sheets, six-sided die, 12 tokens, and instruction booklet.

We all laughed our brains out!!!!!!
Scribblish is a ton of fun, especially if you can't draw! It's hilarious confusion and fun for everyone!
The whole point of the game is to try and scribble something like the ridiculous phrase on the card you start with ("I'm secretly a mermaid", or something like that). Then you pass your drawing, and get someone else's drawing and write a phrase for that (whatever it looks like, you just describe it). Pass again and this time, you are only allowed to see the last thing on the sheet (someone else's phrase for a drawing done by yet another person)and things are already getting silly!
By the time the sheet is full (about 7 turns) everthing is totally confused and everyone is laughing their heads off trying to figure out how their crazy phrase turned into some totally different drawing.
You score by guessing which crazy scribble came from your starting phrase and you get points for being funny!!!!
I love this game!!!!! I would recommend this game to anyone over about 8 years old, especially groups of 5 or more. Great for families, friends, etc.
It takes about 2 minutes to learn and is just totally fun! Not serious or competitive, just alot of laughs!

5 Stars!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Scribblish September 9, 2010

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

The ideal behind this game is quite good, but it falls short in execution. We had a great time playing the game and some of the results were quite hilarious. We immediately tossed the timer as it makes no sense to rush the drawing part of the game. The fun is in the drawing and since the allocated space in which to draw is so small, we felt it would be better to allow all players to complete their drawings rather than to cut them short when the timer ran out. We also tossed the scoring part of the game as again the fun is in the drawing and interpretation. All in all, it was a fun game with no loser or winner. I suspect the game will become more entertaining for those over 21 after a few adult beverages have been consumed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Picto-phone October 23, 2010

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I'd played something similar to this at a party, and the person called it Picto-phone (Pictionary-telephone). The premise is that someone comes up with a phrase that gets drawn(Scribblish: you draw the phrase on the card); the drawn phrase then gets passed to the next person to interpret the drawing. The person after that draws the guessed phrase from the second person, and on down the line, alternating drawing and interpreting the drawing.

It can be really hilarious! The addition of the timer makes it more fun and difficult - when you've got 30 seconds left, you draw anything. It's amazing to see what something can become...for example, "wish on a star" became "roses in the garden" after going through 6 people.

It's definitely entertaining, and can be fun for young kids through adults. Rules are easy to understand and follow, which is great for mixed ages or for large parties. Even those of us not artistically talented can still enjoy the fun of Scribblish!
