Description
Doodle Dash is a party game where the players draw the same word at the same time.
It's a drawing competition where speed can beat skill, so anyone can win!
Win by being the fastest doodler, but watch out – you only score if the guesser can actually tell what your drawing is!
Each round, one player is the guesser, and all other players are drawers. The drawers try to draw a word as fast and accurate as they can.
The guesser takes turns guessing the word for that round from each drawing, beginning with the player who finished their drawing first.
The player whose drawing is the first to be guessed correctly, wins the round, and the guesser and that drawer receive 1 point each.
At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins.

Quotes (from this video)
- I have found that hosting board game nights is an excellent way to get non-board gamers into the hobby, because after they've played some of these games with you, they immediately say 'I need to go get this game, I love this game, can't believe I've never heard of it'
- Our hobby is terrible at marketing itself to people outside of the hobby. Yeah once you get in, yeah you're golden.
- There are so many board gamers out there than I think any of us even know, and even more people who are just adjacent to the hobby.
- It's definitely not going to be for everyone, especially the charades part
- The game takes a backseat to the discussion between rounds
- You're actually better at this game if you can't draw well. The worse you draw, the more fun it is.
- It's just been something that's been on my mind a lot because I've been hosting some game nights at my workplace
- I'm the fun police, but in the opposite way - I want to bring the fun
