DrawBack 2025

DrawBack - Get ready to be DRAWN into a party game that's BACK-TO-BACK laughs!

Remember when you were in grade school, and friends played that game where they drew letters on someone's back with their finger, and that kid had to guess what they were writing?

No?

Well, that makes sense - it really wasn't that much fun.

But NOW, in Jason K Fisher's latest game DrawBack, that idea has been been turned into a picture-guessing party game that is sure to have everybody HOWLING!

In DrawBack, two teams compete by selecting two participants each: an ILLUSTRATOR, and an IMITATOR. The teams' Imitators sit facing their teams, and the Illustrators stand behind them. The Illustrators are given a shared WORD CARD, which has words from six different categories (e.g., foods, places, etc.), selected by the roll of a die. These aren't hard - a child could draw them, and could guess them even faster! Except...

Only the Illustrators know the word. They must DRAW the picture on the Imitators' BACKS, who must then draw what they are FEELING onto the page (using Drawback's patented 'BACKTRACKER' technology - see below!) for their team to see! Twice as hard, but TEN TIMES as FUNNY! First team to get to 11 wins!

But wait! You ever play those drawing games, and one team seems to have a whole bunch of DA VINCIS on their team?

Sucks, don't it?

Well, they're going to be kicking themselves, because after each round, whichever team is in the LEAD must spin the DRAWBACK LEADER-MISTREATER!, which gives a SPECIAL RULE for the next round (which usually STINKS for the team that's ahead)! Will that team get 'OUTDRAW', which means they're OUT next round (but your team has to guess it in HALF the time)? Or will they get 'DOUBLE-BACK' which means they have TWO Illustrators, one BEHIND the other?! Or maybe they'll get 'COMEBACK': if the losing team WINS the next round, they'll earn TRIPLE POINTS!!! No runaway victories here, folks! It stays tight to the VERY END!

So what are you waiting for? All you need is some tracing paper, some clear clipboards, and a couple of dry-erase markers, to play THE party game of the year!
