Imagician

A simultaneous drawing game has players connect coded ingredients to discover a hidden shape first. Guessing early starts a countdown, while increasingly complex spells make each sketch harder to decode.

Read the full game description

Imagician reinvents the principle of dot-to-dot drawing: connect the dots to discover what you are drawing. In each round, an imagic spell made of several ingredients is revealed. Simultaneously, players connect the ingredients on their board to draw a shape. The first player to guess the shape they are drawing (even if that drawing is incomplete) writes what it is on their board and starts a countdown for the other players. Once the countdown ends, players win points if they guessed correctly what the shape represents. Each game will have you guess eight objects from more than 225 different spells with various challenges. Codes will lead you to draw specific shapes: curves, multiple lines, circles, etc. This way, your drawings become more and more complex. In the first game, a short tutorial will help you get started immediately and learn the different codes. —description from the publisher
