Yeah, I hear you. I have a bunch of people I play with, and I fit responses in between work and other stuff, so I can’t always get to them right away. I actually like the way it works–you can get to it when you get to it, and as long as you don’t take too long, everything’s good. As always, YMMV.
if that is the reason then you’ve not given the game a fair shake.
Asynchronous multiplayer games should be approached with a different mindset from other games. you don’t play a single game and wait days for the next turn, you start as many concurrent games as your time and patience dictates.
feel like playing for half an hour? then start games and draw away while taking your turns in existing games during that time, and stop when you want to. once you have enough games going on, you’ll have a daisy chain of games ready to play at your own pace without needing to start more. only have 5 minutes to draw while waiting in line? this game is perfect for that.
the thing is, unlike other multiplayer games, this format places no onus on you to schedule a time to play. you play for as long as you wish and only when you want to, with no waiting time.
I’m currently running 25 sessions, and usually don’t have more than 8 or so sessions waiting for my turn when I pick up the ipad in the evenings. It takes about 30 minutes to run through those (more if I’m feeling “artistic”), and I’m done. On weekends I might play a bit more.
And today I finally got “hobo” as a choice, but didn’t play it. What usually works for that one? A guy with a bindle (bag on a stick)??
Sorry, I’ve been neglecting this lately - I’ll get back on it!
That’s what I always do. A cheerful guy in ragged clothes with a bindle, walking down railroad tracks.
Wow, I feel stupid that I didn’t know how to do a screenshot on my ipad (I’m a noob-owner).
Just hit the sleep and home buttons? That’s it?
Photobucket, here I come!
News flash: If you haven’t updated recently, do eet! 
One word: **UNDO! **(happy dance)
I am DefinitelyNotPicaso
You left out the second s. ! 
I know, I totally meant to do that! For seriously!
I’m curious. I put in DefinateltNotPicasso, and now it calls you something else.
Does my name show up or does Labtrash?
You show up as labtrash for me.
I apologize for any crazy drawings! My granddaughter was playing with my phone again. She loves this app! 
What’s your game name? I want to add you. (I’m Meeplet).
BTW, for all those I play with: I apologize if my responses are slow on the weekends. I do most of my drawings during work breaks during the week, or in the evenings while watching TV, neither of which I do on the weekends.

I’ll play anyone! But I suck.
Weird. I started a game with Reno, and it chose the word for me. Which I didn’t want!
That happened to me once, but I think it was because the iPad picked up that I’d gotten my wrist too close to the screen while reaching for something past it.
I’ve added a couple of y’all. Hey - what does my username show up as?
I’m playing it, but what annoys me is what annoys me about all Zynga games: good idea, poor implementation.
I’ve played for about five days so far and here are things I’ve noticed
- Can’t purchase new colors except in game
- Can’t get back to main menu once you’re inside a game unless you complete your turn. This means watching someone guess your picture, THEN guessing their picture, THEN drawing your own new picture before you’re allowed access to the main menu again
- Can’t turn the screen sideways to do a landscape picture
- No timeline as far as # of hours or # of days since player X’s last turn
- When choosing new opponents, no indication on when they last played a turn
- No going back during your opponent’s drawing turn to watch the drawing being done again.
- No option to rewatch or save any drawings at a later point (except on a screen grab but that’s not in-game functionality).
2 is the worst - when I get stuck on someone’s image and want to move onto someone else’s and come back to it, I have to manually close the app (so it forgets where it was in the app), re-open it… usually twice because it often crashes the first time, then pick something else. That’s part of the reason I’m not getting my turns all that often, when I get stuck it’s a hassle to move on.
