How to play
Sit in a circle. Give everyone a pen and a stack of paper equal to the number of players. Everyone draws a funny scenario on their first sheet (e.g. a banana singing in the shower). Pass the whole stack right. The next person draws their interpretation of the top drawing on a new sheet, then moves the original to the bottom and passes again. Repeat until everyone has their stack back. Reveal them all at the end and see how far the original drifted.
