Setup

Distribute cards, colored pens, and a shared notepad; the game master writes the secret word on all artist cards except the fake artist's card marked with an X.

The rules, step by step

Setup
To set up the game, players receive player cards, colored markers, and a notepad. One player acts as the game master. The game master assigns secret words to all player cards, except for one card designated for the fake artist which gets marked with an X. Players are then told the broad theme, such as pets, to give a general context for the drawing phase.
Objective
The main objective for the genuine artists is to work together and draw parts of a secret word so that everyone recognizes it, while simultaneously weeding out the fake artist who has no idea what is being drawn.
On your turn
During a turn, players take turns drawing on the shared notepad. Each player is strictly limited to drawing just one continuous line—starting from putting the pen down until lifting it up—following the direction of the game master's chosen player order.
Scoring
Scoring depends entirely on the voting results after two complete rounds of drawing. If the fake artist is not caught, or if they successfully guess the secret word despite being caught, they score points; otherwise, the artists win.
Game end
The game concludes immediately after two drawing rounds, followed by the final accusation vote and the fake artist's attempt to guess the secret word.
Tips
Artists should draw abstract or ambiguous lines so the fake artist cannot easily figure out the exact secret word, while the fake artist must copy others carefully to avoid standing out.
