In Mind The Lines, players draw on boards filled with random lines, creating images of given words by only drawing on those lines. After everyone finishes, cards are shuffled and players guess which words were not drawn. After four rounds, the group wins if mistakes are fewer than players. The game offers two difficulty levels chosen collectively.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for 2 to 8 players aged 10 and up, Mind The Lines is a light cooperative party game lasting about 30 minutes. It suits casual players looking for creative fun without needing prior drawing skills or complex rules.
How It Works
Each player gets a board and a marker. They draw the assigned word using only the lines on their board. Once everyone finishes, word cards are shuffled and spread face-up. Players then take turns guessing cards that no one drew. Mistakes are tracked, and after four rounds, the group either wins or loses based on error count. The cooperative drawing mechanic defines the gameplay.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Die 7 Bazis, Mind The Lines was nominated for the 2025 Spiel des Jahres award. It stands out as a cooperative drawing game that welcomes players without drawing talent. Belonging to the Drawing mechanism family, it combines creative drawing with cooperative guessing.
