About the game
Looking for a way to spark laughter and bring everyone together? A Mano Alzada is the perfect solution! Forget about being a master artist; this game is all about quick thinking, improvised sketches, and pure hilarity. It's designed for families and groups who want a lighthearted, fast-paced experience without any stress about artistic skills.

The gameplay is incredibly intuitive: each player gets an open-ended prompt, such as 'the most dangerous animal,' along with a secret priority number from 1 to 30. This number dictates the intensity of your answer. A number 30 means you must draw the ultimate threat, while a number 1 means something much more mild. The real magic happens during the cooperative phase. Once everyone has finished their drawings, the group must work together to arrange the cards in the correct order based on the intensity levels.

It's a game of communication and teamwork. You'll find yourselves debating, analyzing each other's (often hilarious) sketches, and trying to reach a consensus on the sequence. If the group manages to arrange the cards perfectly, you score 3 points. A slight mismatch earns you 1 point, but if the group is completely out of sync, you get nothing. With playtime ranging from 15 to 40 minutes, it's the ideal filler or a quick centerpiece for any gathering. It doesn't matter if you can't draw a straight line; what matters is the fun you'll have with your friends and the chaotic joy of seeing how everyone interpreted the prompts!
