Play Win Lose or Draw Online

Win Lose or Draw was part of the MS-DOS Classic Games collection released by The Software Toolworks in 1990. It was a digital adaptation of the television game show, arriving at a time when simple party games were finding a place on home computers. The graphics were basic even for the era, but it captured the spirit of the show without much fuss.

You control a cursor to draw a given phrase on screen while teammates try to guess it before time runs out. The main objective is to communicate the concept through crude, rushed sketches using a limited set of drawing tools. Signature mechanics include the awkward, mouse-driven line drawing that often results in messy abstractions, and the pressure of a ticking clock that pushes both the artist and guessers to act quickly. The pacing is frantic, and the difficulty comes less from the game itself and more from the interpretation of clumsy drawings among friends. It feels like a silly, social test of communication under laughable constraints.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
