From BoardGameGeek

Looks can be deceiving, and that's doubly true when you don't even have the complete picture. Carefully put together these abstract images to clue your teammates in or you'll risk total confusion! Create unique images to communicate your secret clue in this cooperative picture-making game. Take turns channeling your inner artist to complete all the clues and win! Combine partial shapes and abstract images to portray a secret word. Failed guesses make later rounds harder! -description from the publisher Shaper is a party-style cooperative picture making game that uses just 9 cards. Players take turns to combine the shapes on the cards to create a picture that represents a randomly chosen word. If the other players correctly guess what word the picture represents then points are scored. If they guess wrongly then a card is discarded making future rounds more difficult. Score enough points to win the game. If too many cards are discarded then you lose. With more than 400 words and clues, and over 160 shapes, every game will shape up differently! Shaper was a finalist in Button Shy's 18 card challenge 9 cards per game contest. -description from the designer
