## Description
Telestrations: Upside Drawn flips the award‑winning drawing‑telephone game on its head, cranking the laughs up a notch. Instead of each player drawing and guessing solo, the game splits the duties: one person wields the pen while another commands the board. Each round the team gets an "Up" or "Down" cue that decides who draws and who guesses the clue. The goal is to sync these actions fast enough to guess correctly before the other teams. Points are earned for each correct guess; the first team to hit 10 points wins. The box contains four sketch boards, dry‑erase markers, a category die, 100 cards covering a thousand words and phrases, and scoring chips. Play is frantic, with everyone drawing and guessing simultaneously, spawning endless giggles and surprise misinterpretations. Perfect for 4‑12 players, a game runs about 20 minutes and has a very light learning curve, making it great for newbies and seasoned party‑game fans alike.
