Telestrations Original 4-8 Player | Family Board Game | A Fun Game for Kids and Adults | Game Night Just Got Better | The Telephone Game Sketched Out | Ages 12+

This game is great for anyone who can read! So age doesn’t matter but reading does, however, I would say 7 and up so 7 yrs to 100 years is a good age range. It is so much fun. We played as soon as we opened it. We laughed so much! It was only 3 of us but we had a blast! Our ages were 12, 42, and 63!!! We all enjoyed it so much. It comes in a box that holds everything perfectly.

This game is very good quality and comes with little dry erase tablets and markers so you don't need to purchase them separately. The directions are easy to understand. Took the game to our family beach trip this year (ages 8-89). I initially thought it would be too simple but we ended up laughing until it hurt at the evolution of pictures. The sand dial makes it hard for even people who have drawing skills because you're rushed to keep the tablets moving. Highly recommend!

Telestrations is a guaranteed good time! We haven't laughed that hard in forever!! It’s like a drawing version of Telephone, and the results are always hilarious — especially with bad artists (which makes it even better). Super easy to learn, great for families or parties, and perfect for all ages. Highly recommend for game night!

Telestrations is so much fun! We play it with my parents and my kids, and everyone ends up laughing the entire time. Each round gets funnier as the drawings and guesses go off track. It’s the perfect game for all ages and a must-have for family game night!

This is a crazy fun game for groups over 8 years - adult. Lots of laughs.

Such a fun game, I've been buying it to give as gifts!

QUICK SUMMARY: This game is a lot of good, clean fun and really delivers a lot of laughs. But it'll only be really fun for 6, 7 or 8 people.We played this game last night during our New Year's Eve party. We had a houseful of people, and couldn't break this game out until late in the evening, shortly before midnight, when the crowd thinned to just those families who were going to ring in the new year with us. That's an important point, because this game only works well with 6, 7 or 8 people, I think. You can play with fewer, but the results won't be as fun because the chances for the gameplay to go awry are fewer (going awry = funny outcomes). You can't play with more than 8, as that's the maximum number that the game is equipped to play.What I LIKED:- It leads to unpredictable, sometimes very hilarious outcomes, as people try to guess one another's sketches.- It kept everyone's interest level up who were playing. In fact, we had too many people who wanted to play, so we swapped people in-and-out so more than 8 could experience game play.- Once everyone got the hang of it, game play is pretty easy to do. It does take a strong game facilitator to LITERALLY make sure that "everyone is one the same page," especially at the very beginning.- Game length for an 8-person game was about right, that is, about 90 minutes. Long enough to really enjoy the game, not too long that it gets boring.What I DON'T like:- The game will only be really fun for 6, 7 or 8 dedicated players. Too few, and the outcomes aren't as funny. The game limit is 8, and you really wouldn't want to play with more than that, because it takes a while for each person to share his or her own sketchbook story at the end of a full round. It's not a great party game for larger parties.- Young kids can't play it (well, anyway). The recommended age is 13+, as you need to have a fair amount of knowledge to recognize the words (like, "Cleopatra"), and to spell words that younger kids won't know how to spell (even phonetically). I like that we didn't have any words leading to R-rated (or worse) sketches.- It can be challenging to make sure everyone knows what to do, whether they're guessing a word or sketching a word. In three rounds of play with 8, we had one time where a sketchbook got screwed up because someone earlier didn't erase one page of their sketchbook.CONCLUSION: If you have the sweetspot of 6, 7 or 8 players who are 13+ years old, this game will deliver great results. It's a good game to have in your arsenal of party games, but you won't be able to pull it out at every event you host.

Love this game!!!
