of paper. He writes as many papers as the number of players minus 2.
 The chosen word cannot be too specific. Ex: Pit bull instead of dog
 On another piece of paper, he writes «Fake Artist».
 Then he folds the papers in little paper balls and place them into a cup.

In Game
 The Master Artist draws the first Mark.
 Every mark has to be a part of the word to draw.
 Each player is allowed to draw one mark on the board regardless of
how simple or complex it is as long as the pen doesn’t lift from the
paper.
 The players take turns clockwise until every player has drawn 2 marks.
 Players can talk and comment each others marks in order to convince other
of their identity or fake identity.

End Game
 Players get 3 minutes to discuss who is the Fake Artist.
 On the count of 3, every player points at who they think is the Fake Artist.
 The person with the most fingers pointed at him MUST REVEAL his identity.
 In case of a tie, the Master Artist decides.

Winning condition
 Master Artist and Artists:
 Win if they found who is the Fake artist and if the Fake Artist doesn’t
guess right what the word is.
 Fake Artist:
 Wins if he does not get caught by the Artists.
 Wins if he gets caught and figures out what the word is.

Variants
 The two Fake Artists go to New York
 There are 2 Fake Artists among the Artists.
 The Accomplice
 At the beginning, on one of the papers written the chosen word, the
Master Artist also writes «Accomplice».
 Then, the Master Artist asks everybody to close their eyes (including
the Master Artist). Then he announces: «The Fake Artist and the
Accomplice open your eyes to see each other. » Then they close their
eyes and everybody open their eyes.
 The Accomplice tries to help the Fake Artist by drawing more
indicative marks and try to talk away the blame from the Fake Artist.
 In the end-game, if the Fake Artist has been discovered and has
guessed the word right, the other players vote for who they think the
Accomplice is. If the Accomplice’s identity is revealed, both the Fake
Artist and the Accomplice lose the game.
