If you combined Pictionary and a barely functioning Etch-A-Sketch, you would get XSketch, one of the more addictive and engaging online multi-player games I’ve seen in a while.

The concept is pretty simple. Log on, join table, and try to guess what the strange stick figure in the middle of your screen is. When it’s your turn, you get to draw the stick figure and hope like heck someone else can figure out what it is. The group chat is the equivalent of your friends screaming out anything that comes to mind, in other words, if you start with a circle, the chat window will immediately be filled with virtual friends typing “Rock?”.

There are points awarded for the artist and the guesser with the correct answer (spelling counts!), and the artist can give hints, but if you have trouble drawing to begin with, drawing with the mouse could be a special challenge.
