DRAW YOUR PROMPT
Each round, one player gets a secret prompt and draws it. Only the drawing goes to the other player.
15 TRIES
After the drawing is submitted, the other player sees it and has 15 tries. Hints reveal letters and spend tries.
BOTH WIN OR BOTH LOSE
Correct guess makes drawer and guesser both win. If all 15 tries are spent, both players lose.
