Telestrations is one of my favourite party games of all time, so when I got a chance to review Telestrations Upside Drawn, a new team-based version of Telestrations from The Op, I couldn't resist.

The unique twist in this new version of Telestrations is that one player, The Guide, is manipulating a dry erase board while The Artist is the one holding the marker and also trying to guess what is being drawn. [ READ MORE ]
