Roll the constraint die and embrace the chaos! Catch Sketch: Roll & Mess is the second official expansion for the fast-paced real-time drawing party game Catch Sketch. In this expansion, players must adapt to unpredictable drawing constraints determined by a roll of the special die in each round: Draw with your non-dominant hand Draw using only dotted lines Draw with a single continuous line without lifting the pen Draw using straight lines only (no curves allowed!) Draw upside-down (reverse perspective) Standard drawing Combined with a brand-new deck of prompt cards, these hilarious constraints level the playing field even further—turning every round into a frantic race of creative guesswork and endless table laughter. —description from the publisher
