RULES
How to Play
Luck of the Draw is played in rounds, each consisting of two
phases: 1. Drawing and 2. Noting
-
Draw
One player selects a card from the Subject Box. Another
player rolls the die and turns the sand timer. Then everyone
has 15 seconds to draw the subject that matches the number rolled.
There are no restrictions as to what can or cannot be drawn, other
than you can only use one side of one piece of paper. If you
finish drawing before the timer runs out, tear the paper off the pad
and place it face down in the center of the playing area.
Otherwise, all remaining players must stop and add their drawings
face down to the center when the timer runs out.
-
Vote
One player mixes up the drawing, arranges them face up so that
they are clearly visible and randomly places a colored chip on the
corner of each. (This way they stay anonymous.)
Another player rolls the die to determine how many Category cards
will be voted on for the round (e.g. = Two Category cards).
One player draws the first Category card from the Categories box and
reads it out loud to the group.
Using the Voting Wheels, all players secretly vote on which drawing
they feel best fits the category by turning the wheel to the color
that matches the chip on their drawing of choice. When
everyone has finished voting, all reveal their Voting Wheels at the
same time. The player whose drawing receives the majority of
votes wins the Category card. (Keep won cards face down in
front of you.) Repeat process if there is more than one
Category card in the round.
Voting Notes
-
When voting on more than one category,
keep winners anonymous until the last one has been voted on by
placing each won Category card under its respective drawing.
-
You may vote for your own drawing, but
only if it is truly deserving!
-
In case two or more drawings tie for
most votes, each tied player receives a face down Subject card
(green back), which counts as half of a Category card. (In
other words, two Subject card to on of the tied players and
distribute any extras from the Subject box. Place the tied
Category card in the back of the Categories box.
-
On the rare occasion that all players
agree that none of the drawing fit the Category card, place it back
in the box and draw a new one.
Ending the Game
Play rounds, repeating drawing and voting phases until one player
collects enough Category cards in win the game:

Variations

-

two Category cards in every round.
Reuse and Recycle!
In an effort to help save a few trees, please use both sides of the
paper while playing. Also, please recycle any paper that doesn't
otherwise end up framed or proudly displayed on a refrigerator.
A word from Gamewright
At long last, a drawing game where even the worst artist can win!
We knew this game had the making of a masterpiece from the moment our
testers couldn't put down their pencils. Since everyone draws at
the same time, it's always entertaining to see the variety of ways a
particular subject gets interpreted. It's even more entertaining
to see which drawings get picked as winners. Don't take it
personally if you're voted "Most Embarrassing" or Least Artistic."
Take it as source of pride that you know how to draw to win!
