That post reminded me of Doodle or Die, too. It’s fun, but I prefer the “real time” games.

And “penises” is right.

I love board games, parlor games, card games, etc. Pictionary is a classic.

My favorite Pictionary moment came about 20 years ago. A woman was tasked with drawing **Puppet**. First she drew a smallish figure with a big dress - her teammate started shouting “Baby! Baby girl! Infant!” She then drew a hand going inside the dress, to which her teammate yelled “Sticking your hand up a baby’s ass!”

This being the Straight Dope and all, of course we’ve discussed the question at some length: ["Penii" - The BBQ Pit - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=391360)

I HAVE played it quite a few times, but not in nearly 15 years.

I was an excellent guesser, but a hopelessly bad artist.
