Sure, it’s a secondary consolation prize for getting thumbs-up, but they are recognized at the overview screen alongside the biggest points earner. ![]() While most will play for points, there are others that find the ‘likes’ much more prestigious. It’s a very simple addition that was lacking in the first game and now I see it hard to play without it. This personalization is a first, and if you get a group of people to play together often enough, it will also most likely be the only way you play moving forward. Being able to include inside jokes or blatant insults is what makes this addition incredibly amusing. Here you can write your own answers down, allowing you to customize and cater to a specific group of friends that may be playing with you. While the game itself has preset secret words for you to draw, another new addition to Drawful 2 is the amazing ability to make your own answers. While the minimum to start a game is three players, you’ll really want the preferred 6-8, as it’s much more entertaining and lasts a decent amount of time per round. ![]() After this you can begin a new game with the same players or get a new set allowing others to swap in and out freely should you have a big enough party to play with. At the end of the game the scores are tallied, as are the ‘likes’ that people can freely dish out to any answers they deem fit. This is where knowing who you’re playing with and pandering to their sense of humor comes in.Įach player’s drawing takes a turn at the forefront, and when everyone has gone once the cycle starts again with a new secret word or phrase to draw. Part of the fun though comes at trying to make other people choose your answer instead of what the actual drawing is, as you’ll net points that would have originally went to the artist. Once everyone has drawn their masterpiece each one is then shown in order, allowing everyone to guess what the correct answer is. This may not seem like a big deal, but it’s definitely helped my poor drawing abilities to at least highlight specific areas or what I’m trying to convey in my artistry. ![]() New to Drawful 2 is the ability to finally have two pre-selected and random colors to draw with. It’s extremely obtuse selections like this that lead to some very noteworthy and hilarious drawings. Have you ever tried to draw “my self-esteem”, or “I wrote this book with my laser eyes”? Probably not, but you got about 30 seconds to figure out how. While the classic game may ask you to draw something like an elephant, the Great Wall of China, or something normal, the phrases you’re given in Drawful 2 will have you wondering “how the hell do I draw that?". Needless to say, this isn’t your ordinary game of Pictionary. For those uninitiated, the game breaks down to essentially a hilarious take on Pictionary where you’re told what to draw and you must try to do so to the best of your ability within 30 seconds, and without an eraser. If you’ve played the original Drawful you’ll feel right at home and know exactly what to do. Drawful 2 allows anyone to participate by simply going to and logging in with the room code, be it on a phone, a tablet, or a computer, so hosting party game nights only requires the initial purchase of the software, and that’s it. It used to be if you wanted to play multiplayer party games you needed to have a certain amount of controllers, which can become quite expensive, and then usually some sort of special adapter or hub to attach them all to the console, again increasing the price of entry. Obviously the experience will vary from one group of friends to the next, but it’s a safe bet you’re going to have a good time since anyone with a smartphone, tablet, or computer can play. I don’t think I’ve played a game of Drawful 2 (or the original for that matter) where I don’t end up laughing till it hurts. This review is in regards to Drawful 2, the original's sequel. I’ve grown up now, and while those types of games do have a time and place, I now view games such as Drawful as my go-to party game when I have guests over, for numerous reasons. ![]() It’s funny, growing up I used to associate party games as either Mario Kart, Mario Party, or something similar.
