Description
**Exquisite Corpse** is a collaborative drawing game in which players take turns adding to a shared artwork, without seeing what the others have drawn. The game begins with one player drawing a head and neck on a piece of paper. They then fold the paper over to conceal their drawing and pass it to the next player, who draws a torso. This process continues until the entire body has been drawn, with each player contributing a different part. The final result is often a surreal and hilarious combination of different styles and perspectives.
