Thank you so much for teaching others how to play Telestrations! 💙 To everyone watching, we hope Telestrations brings lots of laughs and smiles to people at your next game night/party! 📝
What a coincidence.. Tomorrow our group will be having game night for the first time in 2 years, and Telestrations is our favourite game! You'd think you won't forget any rules for such a simple game that we've played so many times. But apparently I totally forget about the odd-even number of players! You're such a lifesaver ❤️
Well, I am in trouble because I never really have four in the same room. But I have been wondering about this game for a long time. So I was glad to see your outstanding video!
Oh, I love this game... But did you know that here in Belgium we only have a version that goes up to 8 players? I hope to play a 12 player game some day. It's just awesome to see some results and get anecdotes that last for years.
This is a game that it doesn’t even feel like it needs much in the way of scoring, much like Apples to Apples. Just a way to bust up laughing with friends
Our Game Night usually has as many as 20 Players show up. Would you suggest just buying two Telestrations 12 player games and expanding one circle to 20 people? Could be a few more or a few less. All adults, mostly retired.
I prefer sending the pad with the top closed and my thumb on the current page, that way the next person can open the correct page easier. Hopefully it's understandable what I mean 🤣
I'm from Brazil and I always watch your videos! congratulations, you explain very well!!! if you can do a how to play the game Gandhi from GMT. Thanks!!
"Games that were only covered because of a sponsor" for 200 I know it's a necessary evil, but I don't remember the last non-sponsored HTP and I'd love to see COIN games (something Rodney's actually passionate about)
Alex, this is my full time job - all of my tutorials have been sponsored for years. Why are you taking a shot at Telestrations? This is a fantastic party game and a family favorite. Yes it’s sponsored (like all of them are), but I only pick games I want to feature. I was also sponsored to do a live teach and play of Cuba Libre on Twitch which you can watch, if that game is more to your liking, but try to avoid being cynical about the game choices just because they don’t suit your tastes.
@@WatchItPlayed I didn't mean to come off as cynical, it just struck me as a mass market "Walmart game" that everyone knows how to play already, I have no problems with Telestrations, it's fun! If you're still picking the games you really want to feature and you're not tied into some kind of obligation to do these, I apologize and retract my comment about sponsorships, I don't really have a full idea how corporate sponsorships work. Maybe I am too cynical though!
@@Gafweebo I think that's something that seasoned gamers forget... not everyone knows how to play Telestrations. Many will have never even heard of it. I think from having done this for 10 years I have a heightened awareness that many games we might take as simple, seem overwhelming complex to people brand new to the hobby. You would probably be surprised by the comments I get on videos for very simple games, that have many people commenting because they found the rules "so complex". I don't take anything for granted in that regard anymore. It makes me especially thankful to be able to have publishers willing to support my efforts to cover all sorts of games, sometimes especially these ones, that might be dismissed as "not needing a video". From the beginning of the channel, to this day I never feature a game I don't want to. I just happen to have very broad tastes, and have an interest in helping people from all spectrums of the hobby. Over the course of any given year, you should hopefully find a mix of very light to quite heavy games well represented, though most will likely fall somewhere in that middle ground.
@@WatchItPlayed You're right, I've absolutely taken my years of learning hundreds of games for granted. Thanks for the perspective, you didn't have to take the time to engage with my admittedly misinformed comment, but you did and that's part of what makes your channel one of the best!

And be sure to share your best (or worst?) drawings and guesses online :)
@@WatchItPlayed Absolutely! 💙
I like how your shirt matches the game box and components!
Nice catch :)

Hey hey, glad that helped, AND I hope you have a great game night :)
Well, I am in trouble because I never really have four in the same room. But I have been wondering about this game for a long time. So I was glad to see your outstanding video!
This was a great video, thanks! Usually I have trouble following instructions for board games but you made it really clear on how to play.
Very kind of you to say - have fun playing!
Your shirt matches the game's colors. Nice touch.
Nice catch :)
Oh, I love this game... But did you know that here in Belgium we only have a version that goes up to 8 players? I hope to play a 12 player game some day. It's just awesome to see some results and get anecdotes that last for years.
I did not know that!

I tend to agree :)
You did an excellent job explaining this game! Editing was totally on point too! Great video!!!
Thank you kindly Scott!
Such a great party game! It’s my favorite drawing game. Great video!
Thanks Henri, it's a real fit here too :)
I like that you can start intending to score, then completely forget about it by the end. 🤣
Yep, I don't think we've ever played for points, but the option is there :)
I got the party edition which me and my family will be playing in Vegas for my Dad’s birthday/family outing. I can’t wait!!
I hope you all have a really fun time playing Scott :)
I remember playing this type of game in class
Let just say everyone had a nice laugh
Great video, Rodney! I've seen this but never played it! Looks fun!!!!
I hope you get a chance to try it!

I certainly think that could work. You would just keep passing until players ran out of pages and then reveal.
Nice job explaining the rules party guy

Yep, that’s a good technique!
It's one of my group's favourite games!
I'm from Brazil and I always watch your videos! congratulations, you explain very well!!!
if you can do a how to play the game Gandhi from GMT. Thanks!!
So glad you're enjoying - greetings from Canada!
I see what you’re doing with your shirt color choice
Classic game!
It's a friend favorite when folks come over :)
I love this game
It's very fun :)
Hopefully the rest of my guests will actually watch this... I'm Terrible at explanations. Thanks Rodney!
Have a great time playing!!
I was wondering where is Rodney from?
East coast of Canada.
@@WatchItPlayed awesome! I'm a fellow Canadian from Montreal
@@Gregtech123 Greetings fellow Canuck :)
I'm pretty sure this game already exists under a different name. I've got a game with the exact same rules somewhere in my collection.
Or it might be that the game you're thinking of was based on 'this' design. Hard to say unless you know the title.
@@WatchItPlayed Very true! I think it's called "Scrawl" but I might be mistaken.
@@Dizzula Yeah, I see Scrawl on BGG from 2016. Looks like a pretty direct copy of Telestrations (from 2009)
@@WatchItPlayed Excellent detective work! I thought this was a new game, as it's a new video
@@Dizzula Very fair. I do cover a lot of new games, but I enjoy getting the chance to cover older classics as well!
"Games that were only covered because of a sponsor" for 200
I know it's a necessary evil, but I don't remember the last non-sponsored HTP and I'd love to see COIN games (something Rodney's actually passionate about)
I mean it's also a classic that people might enjoy watching a video about, so it seems win win.
