Consumer Critique: Telestrations

I had the chance to try out a great new party game called Telestrations. It's a cross between Pictionary and the telephone game you played as kids, where the message had to go around the circle and the last person had to try to figure it out. It's easy to play - even my five-year-old could join in with minimal assistance. It's a great game to play - it's not just based on chance, like some games, nor does it require a lot of background knowledge, like trivia-based games. And some of the results are quite funny! The scoring is a little bit complicated, but you can play non-competitively too and avoid that completely. I also like that the game uses whiteboards instead of sheets of paper - less waste and clean-up time!

The game is available at Amazon.com at the link above, or at Target, Walmart, and Barnes & Noble. Telestrations is created by USAopoly; you can find more information when you like USAopoly, follow @USAopoly, or check out the USAopoly Youtube channel.

 Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of the game to facilitate this review.
