みんなでぽんこつペイント (Our Ponkotsu Paint) is a board game released in 2011 for 3–12 players, 10–15 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Chikasuzu (ちかすず) and its main mechanics are Communication Limits and Line Drawing.
ぽんこつペイント (Ponkotsu Paint) is a “drawing chicken race” game where a player tries to illustrate a topic in order for it to be identified by their teammate. There are two conditions for drawing: 1) Only straight lines and circles can be used. 2) Draw as few lines as possible. The key to winning is finding the minimum amount of lines required to convey something and how well can your teammate guess. The game was originally published under the designer's own label Ponkotsu Farm (ぽんこつファーム) in 2011. In 2017 長谷川 登鯉 (Tori Hasegawa) thought it was a waste that "a great game with simple rules that anyone can play" was not available, so he re-issued it under his label MOGwai (モグワイ). --user summary 「直線と円しか描けない」、「できるだけ少ない線で描かなければならない」という状況で絵を描いて、お題を相手に伝えるという「お絵描きチキンレース」です。 どれくらいなら線の本数を減らしても相手に伝わるか、そこをうまく見切れるかが勝負のカギとなります。
