each group competes, or a "shura" style ( where the group
agrees on an answer together ). |

The drawer's group has only one minute to guess the answer; if they guessed correctly the drawer's group gets a point. If the guesses where wrong, the opposing group may take one guess, if they're correct, they get a point. Switch drawers. |
