- Separate drawing quality from what it reveals about the artist’s role.

## How it works

The drawing is used as evidence, disguise or a means of misleading.

## Variants

### Variants and applications

<a id="family-g15-variants"></a>

- False captions for the drawing. Rule: Come up with a plausible false signature and convince others to choose it. Criterion: Persuasiveness of the deception. Example status: With example. <a id="variant-d126"></a>
- Hiding a mandatory sign. Rule: Integrate the identification into the drawing so that it is difficult to detect. Criterion: Visibility of the evidence. Example status: With example. <a id="variant-d127"></a>
- Identification of the author from the drawing. Rule: Associate the image with the player by style or repeating characteristics. Criteria: Attribution. Example status: With example. <a id="variant-d128"></a>
- Drawing without knowledge of the topic. Rule: Draw together with knowledgeable players, trying to hide the lack of background information. Criterion: Hiding the role. Example status: Design pattern. <a id="variant-d129"></a>
- A drawn provocation. Rule: Draw a decoy or false landmark that forces the opponent to make a mistake. Criterion: Opponent's reaction. Example status: Design pattern. <a id="variant-d130"></a>
- Fake visual style. Rule: Imitate someone else's design features to influence the attribution. Criterion: Misattribution. Example status: Design pattern. <a id="variant-d131"></a>

## Context and limits

The author's working classification of mechanics in which the player creates or changes an image, line, outline or stroke, and the game uses the result. Does not claim to be a closed universal list. Catalog unit: player action, drawing interpretation and result. Related options are separated when the rule or outcome criterion changes. A design pattern means that the specific game example in that directory is untested; This is not a statement about the primacy, prevalence or absence of such games.
