Dekalko

About this board game

Dekalko is a 2019 drawing-and-guessing game for 3–6 players, designed for anyone who would rather trace than draw freehand. With artistic skill taking a back seat, the challenge is to reproduce a picture quickly enough for others to identify it.

The game includes 200 unique images across a variety of themes, including animals and sports. Choose an image, trace it as fast as you can, and then show your drawing to the other players for a round of guessing.

Speed matters, and you do not need to capture every feature of the original. Skip the details if that helps you finish sooner—but once the original picture is hidden, your drawing may look surprisingly different from what you traced.

• Trace instead of drawing from scratch.
• Choose from 200 unique images in varied themes.
• Race to complete your picture quickly.
• Let the other players guess what you drew.

That tension between a recognizable image and a rushed sketch gives Dekalko its distinctive appeal. A few missing details may save time, but they can also make the final drawing difficult to identify once the reference is out of sight.

Whether the picture shows an animal, a sport, or another themed subject, each turn puts your tracing speed and the clarity of your finished drawing to the test. Dekalko offers a playful way to draw, guess, and discover how much of an image survives when artistic shortcuts take over.
