any players

small papers (sticky notes, notecards, etc), nondistinguishable

each player starts by drawing a picture of a real object.

pass your picture to the left. with the new picture, draw a more simplified and emphatic version of it on a new paper. do not memorize. repeat for each player.

players should now have simplest version of their initial drawing. shuffle all papers together face-down, then deal face-up to center. players try to place "timeline" of each drawing, from most to least simplified (should form a square grid). while there is a correct answer, no one player knows it.
