So what are Surrealist Games?
Surrealist games are games made to be played with at least one other person or in a group, and they can be played by anyone. The outcomes of these games are often strange, poetic and/or hilarious. The game produces these outcomes due to the fact that the other players are completely unaware of what the people before them have drawn or written. There are a variety of these games and several ways in which they can be played.
