What this is
Everyone draws, but one of them doesn't know what they're drawing. Can they spot them. Players take turns being the Question Master, whose role is to set a category, write a word within that category on dry erase cards, and hand those out to other players as artists. ¨セ芸術家ニューヨークã¸è¡Œã – which is pronounced as "Ese Geijutsuka New York e Iku" and can be translated as Fake Artist Goes to New York – is a party game for 5-10 players.
