Often if I'm with a friend at a coffee shop for an extended period of time, we'll play the drawing game. Its simple; each person draws a line on their own pad of paper, then the other person needs to make a picture.
You could incorporate a theme, but themes tend to occur naturally.
Especially with the suffocation that comes with technology, simple pen and paper games are breath of fresh air.
- pricechild 9y agoI played a variant of this which was quite fun for 3+ if a little more complicated... An animal/mineral/vegetable is written on a card for every player but one who gets a blank card. For a couple of rounds you each draw a line before finally voting on who you think doesn't know what you're drawing. The main group is trying to demonstrate to everyone else that they know what the item is (and so drawings become very abstract) without making it obvious to the hidden traitor. I think the introducer mentioned it was being commercialised...?
- esrauch 9y agoThis game has been sold for a few years as "A fake artist goes to New York" (though it seems like the sort of thing that other companies could easily start selling too, so I'm not sure if that's the only one).
- pricechild 9y agoSo it is! Thank you! board game geek suggests there's at least one reimplementation: "Sunken Sailor" https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/135779/fake-artist-goes-new-york https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/135779/fake-artist-goes-... https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/233994/sunken-sailor https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/233994/sunken-sailor
