Overview

From acclaimed designer Jun Sasaki and originally published by Oink Games, A Fake Artist Goes To New York is a hilarious party game of hidden roles and artistic bluffing. Each round, players collectively draw a picture on a shared canvas, one line at a time. But one player—the Fake Artist—has no idea what the picture is supposed to be! They must bluff their way through their turns, while the real artists try to identify the imposter without revealing the secret word. With 10 clipboards, 10 pencils, and 10 drawing pads (50 sheets each), the game is ready for repeated play. The category card provides endless prompts, ensuring high replayability for families, friends, and party gatherings.
