[[Image:Greatestgame.jpg|Artistic talent is unnecessary, but don't tell [[Sean CarolloHayes]] '07.]]
* Don't worry about your level of artistic talent. If everyone could draw like Sean CarolloHayes, artist of the above, there wouldn't be much movement in a game. Usually a mix of players of different drawing skills produces the best games, with a higher level of artistic incompetence producing more hilarity.
* Starting with a sentence that has several blatantly undrawable concepts ("the thermal coefficient of expansion," "zero-sum game," statements related to time, etc.) tends to yield funnier results. Other starting-sentence types that work well are song lyrics, quotations, and ending sentences from previous games.
* One sneaky strategy common in groups of mixed sensibilities is conscious censoring of "inappropriate" content. (Conversely, some people will consciously inappropriatize formerly clean content.) Also seen in [[Telephone Oracle]], it is not quite fair in Greatest Game but can often lead to funny contrasts.
