Read the full game description

In Mutabo: Family & Kids, one player writes a sentence, then passes the paper to the left, where the next player will draw what they read, then hide the original sentence and pass the paper to the left, where another player will write what they see, etc. The initial sentence comes from the player combining cards included in the game, with one set of cards containing the beginnings of sentences, and the second one the end of sentences. Each player uses two of these cards to create a first sentence to start the game. A game round ends when the papers are full. Scoring is of lesser importance, but can be done by voting for the funniest images/sentences that appear.
