Draw(Game) is a game played using only a piece of lined paper a pencil and the players' imaginations. In which stick figure characters battle each other in "comic book" style panels. The object being to kill/eliminate/destroy/ or otherwise disarm an opponent's character. Often times the game can go on for a very long time if not indefinatly. If the players are especialy imaginative then the object may become to "stump" your opponent so as they can no longer think of a move to use to escape. In this way the game may not ever end and can go on until such time as the players both call it quits and stop playing. The game can always be begun again at a later date.
