About this game

Everyone draws one line on a shared canvas, building a collaborative picture. The catch: one player has no idea what they are drawing. The fake artist must bluff convincingly while the real artists try to identify the impostor without making their clues too obvious. Each single line becomes a statement of intent, accusation, or desperate cover. Minimal rules, maximum social deduction, and the drawings become evidence.
