What is the best chalkboard game since hangman, you ask? It’s this creative chalkboard game where whoever can [draw the best move](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketch-it), gets their picture taken defeating their foe. Unlike other games like hangman, tic-tac-toe and classic arcade games, you get to keep a photograph of your moment of glory.

Inspired by the [typical fighting video games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cold-justice) like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, these guys draw fireballs, super fast punches and deadly uppercuts. The only thing that’s missing from their chalkboard fun is a blackboard that says ‘Flawless Victory’ or ‘Fatality.’
