Description

Chaotic Studio is a drawing game that challenges players’ ability of image segmentation and deduction. According to chosen subject, each player must prepare a specific drawing in three parts on three separate transparent cards respectively. Then, other players try to guess what the Subject is when one of the three parts is revealed and the other two are displayed in a mix with other drawings scattered on the table! Longer before anyone gets the Subject correctly, more victory points (VP) the Active Player (the drawer) will score. However, the Active Player will gain no VP at all if no one guesses correctly.
