PipCasso: Drawing Handoff Patterns

All phases end by handing your paper to the player N places to your right or left. N must be less than half of the number of players.
N for 4 players = maximum 1, 5 players = maximum 2, 6 players = maximum 2, 7 players = maximum 3.

Examples:

  1. For 5 players the options are Right 1, Left 1, Right 2 and Left 2. Larger numbers are possible but are all duplicates of one of the preceding options. Right 3 would be the same as Left 2.
  2. A standard 3 round game with 6 players: Round 1 = Right 1, Round 2 = Left 1, Round 3 = Right 2
  3. You can try different patterns for each phase of the round but it’s going to get messy and I do not guarantee satisfaction.

Optional: The player with most points after the previous round chooses the next handoff pattern.
