Overview

Telestrations is a hilarious party game where players simultaneously sketch and guess words or phrases. Each player starts with a dry-erase booklet, a marker, and a word. They sketch that word, then pass the booklet to the next player, who tries to guess what was drawn.

This continues around the circle, with each player either drawing the previous player's guess or guessing the previous player's drawing. By the end, the original word has often morphed into something completely absurd, guaranteeing plenty of laughs as players reveal the evolution of their drawings and guesses.
