<br>Players in turn make two "pictures" using cardboard pcs. [pieces] of different
colors and shapes. These are framed and placed in an easel. The players
then decide which of the two "pictures" the player to the "artist's" left
will prefer. All players mark their choice on a special gadget which records
up to six player's secret choices. Then the cover is lifted. The scoring depends
on the player's role: - "Critic" (one on "artist's" left) - one point unless
<u>no other player</u> has correctly guessed his choice. In that even he receives
no score (deliberately selected the wrong arrangement). - A "Judge" receives
0 points if incorrect, 1 point if he is one of 3 or more players who guess
correctly, 2 points if he is one of two people who guessed correctly, and 4 points
if he is the only one to agree with the "critic." - The "Artist" receives the same
score as a "Judge" would, with one exception: if every player in the game has
made the same choice it is assumed that the "Artist" has made his design too
obvious. In that event he receives no score. If more than one round is
played, the 2nd to the left becomes the critic, etc. ((Quite pleasant.))
