You’ll need the game box. Marquoir sums up the rules and keeps score.
Setup
- Each player takes a sketchbook, a dry-erase marker and a word card.
- Decide which word on their card each player will use.
How to play
- Everyone writes their secret word on the first page of their sketchbook, then draws it on the next page.
- When the sand timer runs out, everyone passes their sketchbook to their neighbour.
- The neighbour looks only at the last drawing, turns the page and writes what they think it shows.
- The next player draws that guess, and so on, alternating drawing and guessing.
- When each sketchbook is back with its owner, they are flipped through one after another, out loud.
Scoring
- Points are optional; you can play just for the fun of the reveal.
End of the game
- The game stops when the table decides, after as many rounds as it likes.
Frequently asked questions
Can you look at the earlier pages?
No: you only see the last page filled in, without flipping back.
