I was witness to a backgammon tournament of sorts.

Man in Cap with Mother and Father
I’m not sure that these folks were related, but the sketch doesn’t rule that out.
Trio: Girl With Fingers in Her Hair; Man with Glasses and Man with Ambiguous Chin
The man’s ‘ambiguous chin’ is an artifact of the blind drawing process. Lifting the pen point and re-placing it where one thinks it should go, doesn’t always work out on paper.
