Why drawing sticks
You see the picture, the Russian word and its English meaning in the same few seconds, and you spent the round trying to name the thing while it was being drawn. That is the whole method. There are no lessons and no grammar drills — just words, pictures and other players.
A game is 3 rounds by default and each drawing turn lasts 80 seconds. A word someone missed comes back in a later turn of that room until everyone has solved it. Words you did guess are saved to Practice, a solo 10-word review deck.
