Scribble Time is a board game released in 2017 for 4–8 players and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Edward Chan and its main mechanics are Memory and Line Drawing.
Scribble Time is a speed drawing and guessing game. Can you scribble what you hear in a second? Can you remember what your drawing is meant to represent?? "Sure!" you might think! Well, we'll see about that! Ready your pen, on your marks! GO! In more detail, the active player reads out twenty words within twenty seconds, and all other players have to scribble these words to help them remember as many as possible. Afterwards a player gets 2 points for guessing correctly what they have drawn, if they are wrong, the other players may attempt to correctly guess and snatch 1 point for themselves. This game also has advanced mode/ Insane Mode/ Semi-Co-Op Mode/ Super Insane Mode.
Scribble Time supports 4–8 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 catalogue lists Scribble Time for ages 10 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.
Scribble Time has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
