Object of Pictionary:
Players on your team need to guess the clues drawn on a piece of paper to correctly identify the final word. By doing so, teams advance on the Pictionary game board and first team to reach the Finish square wins.
Content of Board Game:
This game includes the Pictionary board, a one minute timer, 4 category cards, 496 keyword card (5 words per card), die, 4 pads of paper, 4 pencils and the official Pictionary board game rules.
Game Preparation:
To begin your Pictionary game, the box of cards are placed in the middle of the board, category cards are handed out for referencing, and teams are divided equally. As the rules state, each team should have a pad of paper and pencil and will begin on the "Start" square. Teams roll the die, and after choosing the first drawer the highest rolling team begins. This round is an "All Play" so everyone guesses.
Game Play:
The rules to playing Pictionary are quite simple and easy. At the beginning of each team's turn, a card is drawn. The category of word is chosen by the color space your team token is on. The picturist has five seconds to examine and think about their word and without using verbal or physical communication begins to draw. Drawing or including letters or number is against the rules. The Picturist has one minute to get their team to guess the word.
If the word is identified in less than a minute, the same team rolls and advances themselves on the Pictionary board and draws a new card. Rules state that each turn a different team member must draw the word.
The first team to land on the Finish square and guess the correct word (whether it be on your turn or the other team's turn) wins the game.
Other interesting instructions the rules state are:
- It is ok to use many pieces of paper.
- An "X" can be used to cross things out or locate something but not as a letter.
- Identically sounding words can be used to guess the correct word. For example: "mail" can be drawn for "male."
- Secret or pre-arranged clues are against the rules. These include drawing an ear for "sounds like" or lines to indicate the number of words to be guessed.
- The exactness of an answers should be determined by teams before the game starts like allowing plural words for singular words, etc.
