The Game of “Fax Machine” is played like this. Person #1 writes a description. This description is handed to person #2 who does their best to draw the description. There are a few rules. The drawer must not write the words of their description in the drawing. There is a time limit of one minute to complete the drawing. The game ends when the ‘fax’ returns to its originator. The winner is determined by how closely last image resembles the original message. The prize is granted to the originator of the ‘fax’.
