Idea! 2021

Draw an original and convincing idea starting from two random stimuli: here is a real collective challenge to unleash creativity in a crescendo of laughter and blows ... of genius!

The aim of the game is to find creative ideas and present them through a drawing. Two cards belonging to the "name" and "action" categories are drawn: The players have to draw an object or an idea by combining the two words.

The red stack (actions) and the blue stack (names) of cards are placed side by side and covered in the center of the table. The slates, markers and scorecard are kept at the players' disposal.

Starting with the oldest player, one competitor challenges all the other players one at a time. Competitors who do not participate in the challenges act as judges. An action map and a name map are drawn from the stacks and placed face up in the center of the table.

In a predetermined time, for example one minute, the current player and the challenger must draw a new object (a new idea) starting from these two stimuli (see example on the back). At the end of the time (or as soon as the contestants have finished drawing), the challengers present their ideas and the other players vote by majority on the best idea. The winner of the challenge earns one point. In the event of a tie, one point is awarded each. You keep one of the two maps and change the other, repeating the game in the same way. The game ends when all players have challenged all opponents respectively. The winner is whoever has the highest score at the end of the game.
