Subtext*

Players communicate by drawing clues related to the word on their card. Drawing skill isn't necessary; the focus is on choosing clues wisely. In each round, one player acts as the dealer, randomly distributing words to others. The dealer then draws a picture to hint at the word, aiming for only the player with the same word to understand the representation. Points are awarded based on incorrect guesses, but only the dealer and their partner can score if they correctly identify each other’s words.
