About the game
What is this game about? This game is played in turns. Each turn one player has to leave the room while the other players draw a card which shows a word. All remaining players have now to draw the word on the card on their drawing tables. They have about one minute (-> sand timer) to do it. Before they call the person who left the room, they shuffle their drawings. This person has now one minute to guess the word from the drawings. If his/her first guess is right, he/she gets 2 points (= 2 wooden disks), otherwise only 1 point if his/her next two guesses were right. After 3 wrong guesses or after the given time elapsed, he/she gets nothing. Afterwards the guessing person has to give one drawing that he/she thinks was best 2 points (which will go to the owner of that picture). Then he/she has to assign the drawings to the other players. For each right guess the guessing person gets another point, otherwise the person who got another but her own drawing gets one point. You can play as long as you want. As there are two words on each card (a red one - easy, a blue one - difficult), you can play, for example, two rounds - a red one and a blue one. The player who got the most points at the end of the game wins. Note: As one person leaves the room, you can play this game with up to 8 players, although there are only 7 drawing tables.

Questions and answers
Graffiti supports 3–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Graffiti is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Graffiti for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Graffiti has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
