Title: Ultimate Battle
Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1605435027/ultimate-battle-the-card-battle-sketching-game (includes details about how to play)
Type of game: card / illustration game
Number of players: 2+
Description: (from the rules sheet) "Using cards with keywords on them, you'll sketch out our attacks on a sheet of paper laid between all the players." There are battle cards (w/ objects for you to draw and use in creative ways) and disagreement cards (to use when people aren't sure who's defense/attack would win).
Comments: This is a great game if you're stuck at home with a bunch of elementary or middle school kids. It would also be easy to mock up a version of this at home without the official game. You just need a sheet of paper you can all draw on, some markers/pens/pencils/crayons, and to come up with some way of randomizing what objects/things people can use to draw attacks/defenses. I really like it because there's an element of creation (drawing) and there's a lot of imagination and flexibility. Please check out the link for play videos -- they describe the gameplay better than I could!
