Developed by Nikki Bush and Justine Heydra, they are now on the shelves in toy stores and in toy departments in chain stores, distributed & marketed by Just Fun Toys.

SUMMARY
It is a three-round game using category cards (general knowledge) such as movie stars, movie titles, celebrities, famous places, famous authors, cartoon characters, book titles etc. The three rounds in the game consist of:
- a describing round
- a two-word description round
- a charades /miming round
The same cards are used in each round so it pays players to really listen to each other and take note (even to the opposition!). Once all cards have been used up the game moves into the next round. Each member of the team will have a chance to play each round. In a fast team a member or two may play the same round a second time.
SKETCH-A-STORY (approx. R199.00 – 220.00)
Think, draw, tell, laugh like hell! One of the few games that really requires you to use your imagination by throwing stories or tales together in seconds.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- hilarious story telling board game
- quick thinking
- drawing skills
- creative verbal associations
- 8 years to adult
SUMMARY
This two-part game is played in teams of two. One member of each team is the drawer and the other the storyteller (they alternate with each turn). They have a time limit and have to be creative. The drawer draws the four items off the word card and the storyteller has to put together a creative sentence or tale using the four words drawn. For example: Father Christmas came down the chimney and stubbed his big toe on a pinecone and then realized he had left the presents on the roof. (The words in bold are the ones that were on the card drawn by the drawer.) The team earns a point for each correct word used, moving forward the corresponding number of places on the board.
