| Detailed instructions | The rules and mechanics of Gartic Phone are a combination of two party games: Pictionary (the drawing game) and Broken Telephone (that telephone game where the first player whispers something into the next personโs ear, and the next person has to pass on the original phrase until the whisper reaches the turn of the original speaker). In Gartic Phone, players must sketch a word/words and guess what those strange drawings represent. The game works by having the first player propose a sentence, and the second player will have to try their best to create a picture of the first sentence. The next player will then need to guess what the sentence was. Following this, the subsequent player will follow the loop until the end, where the players must compare the final sentence to the original starting sentence. Source |
