The fake artist is the player who receives a blank tile and has no idea what they are supposed to draw. Rather than splitting into teams, all but one player is secretly given a word to collaboratively contribute to on a central canvas. This tiny box provides a new spin on the classic party drawing experience. I’m moving on to A Fake Artist Goes To New York from Oink Games. I’m finished with wondering what that animal is supposed to be. The other team watches on with grins and giggles. You’re stuck with Uncle Randy who lacks creativity and is drawing circles repeatedly around an object that looks like a cross between a sickly horse and a rabid dog.

You’re the board game hobbyist, or at least your knowledge of this realm far surpasses the collective lack of insight into better options. You look around at your family members, all of them struggling to get up from the couch, or the chair, or the floor. Mom shuffles to a closet and returns with Clue in her hand, asking others to join her at the table. The television is on yet… no one is really watching.
