About
A bunch of iSketch veterans got a bit bored with the standard iSketch
games and decided to create a few of their own. Each game is described
below. Mish Mash is another new game that incorporates all of these
games into one, allowing the artist to choose the game rules for the
current round. It may sound complicated but equipped with the info
below it'll only take a few games to get the hang of it; soon you'll be
playing the most fun and varied iSketch game there is! Quick Reference
N - Normal
CU - Close Ups
Z - Zoom
BP - Big Picture
BEV - BirdsEye View
POV - Point of View
SM - Something's Missing
OP - Opposites
PUN - Puns
NTS - Nutty Style
SL - Sounds Like
UD - Upside Down
IPOD - iPod Adism
8bit - 80's style computer graphics
LB - Light Bright
BWD - Backwards
Ze - ZeBadger Style
Aero - aerochick Style
FLOW - First Letter Of Words
Minimal - Draw the bare minimum
NS - N00b Style
Mish Mash
Mish Mash allows the artist to pick the game rules for the current round.
The artist is given 3 words and must pick one that they will draw for the round.
The artist must do the following:
- Choose one of the three supplied words to use as the answer for the round.
- Choose what game rules to play with (described below).
- Write the letter code for their chosen game rules into their picture. This should remain for the entirety of the round.
- Sketch their images following the rules for their chosen game and play as normal
- If hints are given, the artist should signify which of the three words they chose for their sketch by sketching #1, #2 or #3
Note that there is one exception to these rules. If the artist has
chosen Big Picture then they should pick at least two of the words as
the answers.
Room setup
Here's some guidance on how to set the room up
- Room Name Probably a good idea to start with the word "Mish" so the room is easy to find.
- Description Rules: http://task10.com/mash
- Time / Round 180
- Grace Period 30
- Words 3
- Scoring Any word
N - Normal
The artist sketches the answer as in any standard iSketch game.
Drawing normal should only be used as a LAST resort for newbies. They should in the first instance try drawing UD.
CU - Close Ups
The artist draws the answer close up. For example if the answer is
'house', they may draw the front door, a window and part of the wall.
This is a close up portion of a house.
Z - Zoom
Zoom is similar to Close Ups but the artist may zoom in (close up) or out (far away).
BP - Big Picture
The artist picks at least two words and incorporates them into a single
sketch. The sketch should not be two seperate images but both answers
incorporated into one single image. For example, if the answers are
'pot' and 'beehive' the artist may draw a pot hanging from a tree
branch, with bees flying around it.
Some players like to play Big Picture where guessing is not allowed until the artist hints. It is good courtesy to ask if this rule is in effect for the room before guessing.
BEV - Bird's Eye View
The artist draws the answer as a bird would see it from above.
POV - Point of View
The artist draws what the answer would see. That is to imagine the
answer has eyes and what it would be viewing from it's normal place in
the world. For instance if the answer was 'mechanic' then the artist
may draw a car engine with the car's hood up.
SM - Something's Missing
The artist does not draw the
answer. Instead they sketch a scene with the answer missing. The scene
should give clues to the other players as to what the missing item is.
For instance, if the answer was 'bird', the artist may draw a nest with
eggs in it, but no bird. The artist may infact draw the answer if it is
relevant. For instance, if the answer is 'tentacle', they may draw an
octopus with seven tentacles as the answer would still be missing,
because octopus have eight.
OP - Opposites
The artist does not draw the answer. Instead
they draw the opposite of the answer. This does not have to be strict
like hot & cold but may also include answers such as 'salt' with
pepper, 'tea' with coffee or even 'bath' with shower. Aslong as the
sketch is different in some relevant way to the answer.
PUN - Puns
The artist does not draw the answer. Instead
they sketch an image that is a play on the word. For example if your
word is 'armchair' you could draw a chair with arms, or a chair shaped
like an arm.
NTS - Nutty Style
NTS is also a pun but it's more of a letter play usually having the words in-on-or-over in the word. Like M-in-T would be Mint.
SL - Sounds Like
The artist does not draw the answer.
Instead they sketch something that sounds like the answer. This should
only be for one word soundalikes, otherwise it is a pun.
UD - Upside Down
The image, answer or part of the sketch is drawn upside down.
IPOD - iPod Adism
The artist draws the word as it would appear in an iPod advertisement. This
generally entails a silhouette drawing with a colorful background and an iPod
somewhere in the picture.
For example:
8Bit - 80's computer graphics
Create your picture with just the square tool to produce an authentic looking 80's computer screen shot.
LB - Light Brite
Create a dark backdrop and create the image using different coloured dots.

BWD - Backwards
The word drawn is spelled backwards, i.e. spins -> snips.
Ze - ZeBadger Style
The word drawn contains the word that will match. i.e. draw bicycle for icy
Aero - aerochick Style
The word drawn matches the first 4 letters of the word that you need to guess... the rest is up to you!
FLOW - First Letter Of Words
A good one for shorter words. Do multiple draws, take the first letter of each draw to make your word, you could even BP it.

Minimum
Draw the bare minimum possible to convey your word
NS - N00b Style
Draw the image like a noob!
Please do not be offended when the guessers act like n00bs too, it's all part of the fun.
