■ 5 Game Modes and Flexible Customization
This title can be enjoyed in various modes to suit players' styles and number of players.
* **Telephone**: A standard game mode where each player repeatedly draws and guesses.
* **Stage**: A mode where players quickly guess a drawing made by one player.
* **Lounge**: A mode to enjoy drawing in real-time online.
* **Robot**: A mode where you draw well enough for the CPU to guess easily. You can also enjoy "Battle Royale" mode, where you play multiple rounds online with other players to win.
