y
ed over several rounds in a clockwise direction. The pla
y
er who last painted
a picture gets to play fi rst and rolls the die
.
On the die appear
:
S
ix different symbols, each representing a particular category. You will have to come up
with a sub
j
ect to paint based on the s
y
mbol appearin

on the die when
y
ou roll, for instance:
T
ell
y
our fellow pla
y
ers loudl
y
and clearl
y
what sub
j
ect
y
ou have chosen to paint. Now ever
y
on
e
has to
fi
gure out what three colors they would use to paint the subject on the canvas. Secretly
look for three relevant dabs of color behind your screen and place them on the palette. Raise
y
our screens simultaneousl
y
onl
y
after ever
y
one has fi nished pickin
g
their colors.
