In Hangman, every wrong answer adds one more part to the figure on your own gallows: head, body, arms and legs, six parts in all. When your drawing is complete, you are out. Right answers keep you safe, and the last player still standing wins.
Everyone answers the same questions on the normal 15 second clock, and a battle can run up to 60 questions, so a longer game rewards players who miss rarely rather than players who are merely fast. It runs one on one or with 4, 8, 16 or 24 players. Watching the drawings fill in around the room adds a little gallows humour to every round.
