    a second round, comprising;

    providing a first player with a word;

    initiating a timer;

    sketching, by the first player, clues to the word to create a drawing, the drawing being limited to a combination of a predetermined set of shapes while a second player, observing the drawing, attempts to identify the word; and

    providing an award based at least in part on whether the second player correctly identifies the word before the timer runs to a predetermined time;

    a third round, comprising;

    providing a word to a first player;

    initiating a timer;

    sketching, by the first player, clues to the word to create a drawing, the drawing being limited to clues not depicting the physical manifestation of the word while a second player, observing the drawing, attempts to identify the word; and

    providing an award based at least in part on whether the second player correctly identifies the word before the timer runs to a predetermined time;

    a fourth round, comprising;

    providing a word to a first player;

    initiating a timer;

    while continuously producing verbal sound, sketching, by the first player, clues to the word to create a drawing while a second player, observing the drawing, attempts to identify the word; and

    providing an award based at least in part on whether the second player correctly identifies the word before the timer runs to a predetermined time;

    a fifth round comprising;

    providing a word to a first player;

    initiating a timer;

    sketching, by the first player while continuously holding his/her feet off the floor, clues to the word to create a drawing while a second player, observing the drawing, attempts to identify the word; and

    providing an award based at least in part on whether the first player successfully keeps his/her feet off the floor and the second player correctly identifies the word before the timer runs to a predetermined time;

    a sixth round comprising;

    providing a word to a first player;

    providing an award based at least in part on whether the second player correctly identifies the word before the timer runs to a predetermined time;

    a seventh round comprising;

    providing a first word to a first player;

    initiating a timer;

    providing an award based at least in part on whether the second player correctly identifies the word before the timer runs to a second predetermined time;

    a ninth round, comprising;

    providing a word to a first player;
