Description
Revealing the terrible artist in all of us, players in Scrawl start off with a loaded phrase, doodle it, then pass it on. By the time your masterpiece of an "OAP Conga Line" passes through your friends' weird minds and wonky pens — and makes it back to you — things will have gone horribly wrong. Points are awarded for the most disastrous doodles and godawful guesses. Most grins wins.
(Commercial reimplementation of the folk game Eat Poop You Cat.)

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Draw and discard — draw from the draw pile or top of discard and decide whether to discard or swap cards
- hand management — players manage their hands to optimize scoring for their team
- scram end-of-round declaration — calling scram ends the turn sequence and leads to scoring after all face-down cards are revealed
- set replacement / swap — swap cards across camps to lower overall score and potentially trigger card abilities
- special card abilities — high-number cards have abilities that affect camps and can help or hinder players
- team-based interaction — two teams collaborate, sharing a common goal to minimize score
