PictionaryPictionary  BUY NOW  $69.99

Pictionary is the rousing board game that is played like charades, only on paper. Instead of acting, you and your teammates try to guess the identities of various words by sketching clues to each other. You don't have to be an artist to play--all that's needed is imagination and a fast pencil. Can you sketch frog, noodle, or pumpkin? Too easy? Try test, drought, or turbulence. The tricky part is to do it without using letters or numbers. A one-minute time limit adds still more excitement to the game. Words come in five color-coded categories: Person/Place/Animal, Object, Action, Difficult, and All Play. All Play is unique. When this category is occupied, all teams sketch the same word simultaneously. Imagine eight people playing. Two sketch as six others continuously yell their guesses in a frantic rush to be the first to identify the word being sketched. It gets crazy!

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but can you give instructions on how to draw it? That's exactly what you'll need to do in Backseat Drawing!

The catch is that the artists don't know what they are drawing - they can only follow the instructions given by another team member called "The Director". The Directors look at the item on the challenge card then give drawing instructions to the artists as the rest of the team members try desperately to guess what is being drawn. The first team to identify the item that is being drawn wins one point. Directors, artists, and guessers rotate within the teams and the next round starts. The first team to earn seven points wins the game!

To make the fun even more engaging, there is an included DVD with this version that provides a new twist.

Here’s a team game that will finally put to use the countless hours you’ve spent doodling mindlessly. Players are given a random line drawing, known as a “Squiggle,” to start with, and then have 60 seconds to turn it into an object or picture. If their teammates can correctly guess what the drawing is, they are awarded points. Points are awarded based on skill level and the uniqueness of the image created. There are 3 levels of Squiggle templates: easy, challenging, and mind-boggling, and a score book provides a point value for over 870 pictures and objects that may be created. If no one guesses your drawing, don’t fret! There are some templates in the deck that allow for “Second Chance” points by pantomiming what the drawing is. Best of all, a roll of the die determines what direction your Squiggle will begin, so that each game you play will be fresh and unique.
