Six Second Scribbles: The frantically fast and fantastically fun drawing game | A family friendly party game for children, teens and adults (Six Second Scribbles)

Product Information

While talking about things not in the box, there isn’t a pencil sharpener either. If you are a household without these, you might have to reach for a pen instead, it’s not an unsurmountable issue and I’m not even sure why I’ve made you read this paragraph. Sorry.

Like all good party games Six Second Scribbles is easy to learn and fast to play. We debrief while marking because at some point, someone’s guess or drawing will cause amusement around the table. Ultimately that is what this game is set up for. We really enjoyed playing it, there’s an option for a two player game but I think it would be even more fun played in a group and plan to take it to family gatherings this Christmas.

I will now employ an anecdote to further prove my point. My neighbour, Jennie, was an “I can’t draw” when we brought this to the table. “It doesn’t matter”, I said (just like in the paragraph above), “we’ll play a round and if you don’t like it, we’ll move on to something else” I continued. Three rounds later Jennie’s words were “I stand corrected, I really enjoyed that!”. You’ve got a lot in this little box. Enough pencils to go round and a small pad of paper that will last plenty long enough. The pad is purposefully small, as the rules say, drawing small makes you draw fast!

We decided to play the slightly simpler version due to the age of our children. Although everyone played at once, we used the Easy cards and gave ourselves slightly longer to draw, and drew 6 things (rather than 10). Some of the cards are a little unbalanced in terms of difficulty, I’ve seen friends try and draw okra and kale, while someone else has been drawing a cloud and a bone. I know which I would rather attempt! When playing with children, I tend to allow them to read the card before the timer and make sure they can attempt to draw half of them, or swap the card to make things easier. When your time is up your drawings must be passed to the next person, and they have to guess your drawings – which are all around one theme. You get a point for each correct drawing. There is no timer included in the box, but readers of my FReNeTiC review will know how I feel about egg timers. With most people having a mobile phone or an oven timer it’s not a problem. However, I know lots of people that don’t want their phones at the table, especially when playing board games. On reflection, using your phone means there is no plastic sand timer being produced so it’s the better environmental option of the two!There’s no plastic at all, it’s delivered in a cardboard box, there’s no plastic wrap or plastic bags, the game box is made of card and the cards are held together by a paper band. This one is a big winner for me and I hope other board game makers follow suit. We were recently gifted a copy of Six Second Scribbles from Gamely. Our family loves playing a game and with the Christmas holidays coming up we were excited to add to our game collection. Six Second Scribbles sounds simple, but was it? Six Second Scribbles from Gamely Number of players is fairly irrelevant, as down time is minimal thanks to the all-play mechanic. That said the box suggest 2-8 players but I would say 4-6 is still probably best.

I was recently invited to try out Six Second Scribbles, one of the latest games from Gamely Games. We played it for another alternative date night which now seems like a lifetime ago after a stressful house move!
