About this deal

Now the art making can begin! One line at a time, the artists take turns adding to the group’s masterpiece. These lines can be as intricate or as simple as the player wants, but one line only: once the pen leaves the pad, their turn is over. There are 3 roles in this game. The aim of this game is to be the first player to earn 5 points. However the method differs in each role.

A Fake Artist Goes To New York is a mouthful of a title for a pretty simple board game about drawing, lying, and making wild accusations. We also played it on the latest episode of Overboard, and had a surprisingly difficult time figuring out who among us was actually the fake artist. After the big reveal of the voting and the fake artist tries to guess the secret theme, there is a big round of noisy, “What was that bit supposed to be?” or “Why did you draw this?” or “Oh! I thought that was its tale” and the next round begins with a new GM and new topic. After the 20 minutes, you’ll have gone round the whole group and you can choose to stop. Closing Thoughts on A Fake Artist Goes to New YorkHere’s how it’s played. Each round, one player assumes the role of game master and selects a secret drawing prompt. They write it down on the handy dry erase cards included with the game, along with one card on which they write “FAKE”. The cards are shuffled together and given to the rest of the players. You can spot an Oink game easily from the other side of the games shop. In a world of big boxes with high art and armies of miniatures, Oink produce games with in business-card sized boxes using clear, simple modern retro styling. Distinctive. Stylish. Efficient. One at a time, each player has to draw one line or squiggle on a piece of paper in their own colour pen. They’ll aim to contribute towards drawing the Question Master’s clue. Of course, the Fake Artist doesn’t know what they’re supposed to be drawing! You’ll want your scrawls to be vague enough to thwart the Fake Artist. But, it needs to be subtle enough for everyone else to recognise it… This means that as much as drawing takes center stage, A Fake Artist Goes To New York is really a hidden role game. It’s not your drawing skills that are being tested, it’s your ability to convince everyone else you’re a part of the team – even when you aren’t. A Fake Artist Goes To New York is a cute, portable game for up to 10 players. Polygon After all the artists have had two turns, they’re given a chance to discuss who among them is the fake, before the game master calls a vote. The players then point to who they think the fake is. If they fail to find them, the fake wins! However, even if they fake artist is outed, they haven’t lost. They get one chance to guess what they think the secret writing prompt was, and should they manage to guess correctly, the fake wins! The only way for the real artists to win is if they find the fake AND the fake fails to guess the prompt. Look at our Art. Polygon

Japanese company Oink Games have released one stone cold classic: Deep Sea Adventure and many of their others deserve an honourable mention. What about A Fake Artist Goes to New York, though? OverviewTo begin the next round the person to the left of the Question Master becomes the next Question Master. For example, the game master could choose “Pizza” as their drawing prompt, writing it on all but one of the cards. One the last card, they just write “FAKE”. Like all party games, A Fake Artist Goes to New York works best with a large group of people. The game makes a framework but it is up to us, the players, to fill it with fun. Adding a line to a sketch on a pad isn’t that amazing. Watching our friends suffer in the face of their drawing skills; laughing at the poor quality results; bluffing like a poker player is fun. At the end of each round, don't forget to name the masterpiece. To continue to enjoy the fun, fold the title over and quiz your friend :) or tweet it!
