In Speechless, players form teams and attempt to guess what word or phrase one of their team mates is drawing. Players take turns to move around the board based on the results of a die roll. On landing on a space, the nominated artist draws one card and starts sketching the category of word or phrase that is coded to the color of the space landed on. The team has roughly one minute - the time it takes for a steel ball to run down the timer track - to guess the answer. If the team guesses incorrectly, they lose their turn. Certain spaces give an extra minute to guess or allows other teams to take part (and win the turn to move). The first team to reach the ending spot wins the game.
