Telestrations is a visual version of the verbal game "telephone" where one person starts off with one word or phrase and passes it on to the next person and so it goes down a line of people. What the last person will say will usually surprise you as it is so far from where it started. Telestrations does all this by drawing and object or phrase. The next person has to interpret that drawing and write down what they think it is. The next person draws what the previous person guessed and so on.
Telestrations is a fun and hilarious laid back "game" where things get crazy fast and drawings start straying from the original concept. When everyone is done you can review everyone's drawings and see where things got off track and laugh at the funny interpretations. Give Telestrations a try.

Love love love this game. We had such a fun time playing Telestrations. The rules were so easy to learn how to play that even the little kids could play along too. We had some interesting drawings.

We used to play this as a family when we all got together for dinner. I don't think we ever looked at the rules to learn how to play. It was pretty self explanatory. Fun game though - make sure you wipe off the drawings before storing it though or it will be really tough getting it off.

We are playing this game right now and are having a blast. I like how there is no pressure to "win." It is just a fun laid back activity to do. We just needed to clarify a few thing to make sure we were doing things right which is why I am writing this. Better get back to drawing...
