## Description
Mutabo is a hilarious party game that takes the classic 'telephone game' with drawings and elevates it to a new level of creative chaos! Essentially, one player starts by writing a sentence, passes the paper to the side, and the next player has to draw what they read. Then, they hide the original sentence and pass the drawing to the next person, who will write what they see. And so it goes, alternating between text and image, until the paper is full. The magic happens when you compare the initial sentence with the final 'artwork' – the distortions are guaranteed to bring many laughs!

The big differentiator of Mutabo is how it kicks off the confusion. Instead of inventing the first sentence out of thin air, players use special cards. There are two types of decks: one with sentence beginnings and another with sentence endings. Each participant chooses two of these cards to create a unique and often absurd initial sentence, which will be the starting point for the sequence of drawings and writings. Scoring is not the main focus; the real prize is the fun and crazy stories that emerge. However, if the group wishes, they can vote for the funniest images or sentences to determine a winner. It's a perfect game for those looking for light interactions, creativity, and lots of laughs in a group!
