# How to Play Cosmos Art on Cosmos Video

Cosmos Art is a draw-and-guess party game in the spirit of Pictionary, where one player illustrates a word while everyone else races to guess what it is. It works for 3 or more remote teammates and runs natively at a game table inside a Cosmos Video space, with no separate app required.

## Rules

1. On your turn, pick one of three word options to draw.
2. Illustrate the word using only pictures. No spelling or letters are allowed.
3. Other players type their guesses while you draw.
4. The first correct guess scores points, and the drawer also earns points when someone guesses correctly.
5. When the timer runs out or the word is guessed, the next player takes a turn.
6. Rounds rotate until everyone has drawn a set number of times.
7. The player with the most points on the leaderboard at the end wins.

## Setup in Cosmos Video

1. Enter a public Cosmos Space or create your own.
2. Walk up to a game table with the gamified appearance.
3. Press X on the keyboard, or click Games in the toolbar.
4. Select Cosmos Art and invite teammates to the table.

## Tips for Groups

- Keep drawings simple; speed matters more than detail.
- Pick the middle-difficulty word if you want to balance scoring.
- Encourage the guess chat to stay lively so the drawer gets feedback.
- Play several rounds so newcomers get a second chance.
