Brass Monkey Drawing from Memory - Social Party Game with 300+ Game Card Prompts for Drawing from Memory

We played this recently with some friends. It's a blast. At certain points, we were laughing so hard we all had tears in our eyes. We definitely made some great memories with our friends playing this game. Oh, and the less artistic/talented you are, the better, trust me!

We played through all the Secret Judge cards with a group of 7 people - so much fun! But the thing was all thought by the end was: All the Judge cards are too similar, they were all derivitive of 'most unintentionally awful drawing' - i wish they were as creative as the prompts. For example: "most picasso-esque" or "Most likely to hang on [Insert Dictator]'s wall."

The overall gist of this game is that there are two types of cards per round: a card that tells everyone what to draw, and then a secret "judge" card that says what the winning condition is. If you draw a card that someone's unfamiliar with, you could always just draw another, and due to the variety of winning conditions, even if you were to play with the same group on a different day and get the same subject to draw, the different potential winning condition can keep things interesting.The fact the game is still fun, or probably even more fun the worse your friend group is at drawing, makes this game a winner in my book.

Seems like a fun game to take on our trip to an all inclusive resort. We opened it and realized there wasn’t pencils in the box. What kind of drawing game doesn’t come with little pencils? We honestly didn’t have access to any close by so it was pretty annoying. Will prob return

I got this to play with my GF's family because her dad likes to sketch. It went over pretty well, everyone enjoyed it even though he was the only one any good at drawing.

Sigh. I did terribly and came in last place playing this with my in-laws last night. My husband, his parents, and his mentally handicapped adult sister all are about the worst drawers there can be. Yet here I am, fairly talented when it comes to drawing, and while I showed off my artistic talents creating masterpiece works of art featuring Chewbacca, Bugs Bunny, a Zamboni, a squirrel, and other common objects, I didn't do too well. My sister in law (who actually draws the best out of the three of them, but only because my husband and his parents are so bad) won the game with the most judge picks.Since the judging criteria changes each round, and usually features something other than best drawing, everyone who can't even draw a stick figure has a chance!It is so fun to see everyone's terrible drawings and to see who wins each round! This game is probably great for any age from kindergarten up. Probably even funner for adults who have been drinking, a lot!I was already cracking up when I read the directions, which are hilarious. But the game is really simple to learn and play. There are three packs of object cards, which have subjects on both sides. If there's an object someone doesn't know, consensus can vote to draw the object in the other side. There is also a pack of judging criteria cards, which can be reused if you get through them all during a game.We had a lot of fun playing this, and I think it's a great value at around twenty bucks since there are so many cards included. Also included is a notepad, but any paper can be used if it gets used up.This game is great for family game night or adult social parties, and I think it's a great addition to any game shelf. Makes a great gift, as well.

This game is alright, but the prompts aren’t really the best. Many are just way too easy (stuff like a guitar) and then others are things that are too obscure but there really isn’t much of a middle ground. We got kind of bored after a few rounds. I like the idea, but it would be better to make your own prompts.

This did deliver on its promise to get us laughing. It is fun to see what everyone comes up with, and appreciate all the originality and everyone’s different styles. We had a good time, definitely, but as a game-lover myself, this isn’t one of my favorites. I don’t think this will be the one that I reach for on most game nights.The thing that keeps me from absolutely loving this is the design of the gameplay itself. I feel like even on the first time playing, we were already altering the rules to spice it up a little. We did a two-minute timer for each prompt to keep things moving, and the judges often spent time looking for a prompt they actually liked and everyone was aware enough of to be able to draw. I do think the prompts are good, but there are a lot of specific references. In a big group, there will be a chance someone has no idea what many of them are. I’m not opposed to still giving something unknown a try for comedy, but that's something to note. I also just feel like the criteria cards are a bit of a cop-out. It’s to give people who aren’t artistically talented a chance to win, but it just makes the game less straightforward. I’d rather the judge just pick whichever they like the most, whether that be the most impressive, funniest, or most mind-boggling. We also went through a lot of the paper in only one night. After a few plays, you’d probably have to provide your own paper.Also, for some reason, the rules keep referring to cards with a blue border, when they are clearly green? This obviously doesn’t affect the gameplay, but it’s kind of funny.
