This game is lots of fun! And can be played with friends of all of ages (as long as they can read and draw).
We had so many laughs!!
The logistics don't always make sense/seem pointless and we don't usually follow them.
The timer is a bit odd. Not quite sure what it's timing because it beeps in short spurts. Not sure if that means to pass or if you wait until the last beep and then pass. Either way we don't use it. We pick an amount of time (1-2 mins) and use our phone. Some people say it shouldn't be timed but the rush sometimes that adds to the 'confusion' and creates a totally far fetched end result.
As for the points, we would just pick out who's was the funniest and didn't keep track. We were having too much fun to car who won or lost.
We literally were in tears at times at laughing so hard.
We also stopped using the dice after while because often people would be getting their own back right away. (For instance if you pass to your left, and then pass back to your right, it goes to the person who just draw/wrote before you). So we just worked in one direction. You can roll the dice the first time and follow that for the full game. And usually when we know that we've come full circle we put them in the middle and scramble them up.
Even though the directions are pretty much useless the game is so much fun with alterations. We have bags full of games, but once we started this one we could not stop! Everyone wanted to keep going, I am surprised we didn't use up all of the papers.
It's definitely better with a larger group so you can pass it without getting your own right away.
So usually we just pick a card/statement, start drawing it while using a 1-minute timer, then pass once the timer buzzes. We hide the original statement that is written on top of the paper by using the scribble scrolls and pass it to the next person. The next person tries to guess what you drew and writes it as a new statement. Then they hide the picture you drew and passes the scroll over with only their statesmen showing, and then the next person draws that statement. This continues until you reach the end of the scroll.
Then we put them all in the middle face down, scramble them, and then turn them face up. Only the last drawing should be showing. Everyone tries to guess there's and picks which they think is funniest. Then we unroll and we all laugh about each one and how it had changed.
Lots of fun!

Not what I ordered
Arrived on time, but the game I received was not the Cranium Scribblish that I ordered. I received a game by the company "Spicy Doodles" and not "Hasbro" which did not include the scrolls, timer, dice, or tokens. It included pads of paper, pens, pencils, card holders, and cards. I received a lesser quality item for the price of the brand name. It will do the job, but just didn't get what I paid for. Too much of a hassle too return. I was going to use it this Friday.
