Luck of the Draw (board game)

Party and Word Games

Luck of the Draw is a drawing and voting party game designed by Donald W Scott and published in 2006 by Gamewright for four to eight or more players. All participants draw the same subject within a forty five second time limit, then vote using voting wheels on which drawing best matches randomly selected categories such as squiggliest or most likely to hang on a refrigerator. Because winners are chosen by category based voting rather than by guessing what was drawn, artistic talent does not necessarily provide an advantage. The objective is to collect the most category cards across multiple rounds.

    Luck of the Draw is a drawing game published in 2006. Distinguishing it from other games in the genre, all players draw the same subject and advancement is effected by voting for the most appropriate drawing in various categories rather than guessing a subject. Because the categories are not directly related to artistic skill, players with advanced drawing ability are not favored. The game was conceptualized by Donald W. Scott and is produced under license by Gamewright.
