Everything about Pictionary totally explained
Pictionary is a guessing
word game published in
1985. The game is played with
teams with
players trying to identify specific
words from their teammates'
drawings.
Objective
Each team moves a piece on a game board formed by a sequence of
squares. Each square has a
letter or shape identifying the type of picture to be drawn on it. The
objective is to be the first team to reach the last space on the board.
Gameplay
The team chooses one person to begin drawing; this position
rotates with each word. The drawer chooses a
card out of a deck of special
Pictionary cards and tries to draw pictures which suggest the word printed on the card. The pictures can't contain any
numbers or letters. The teammates try to guess the word the drawing is intended to represent.
There are five types of squares on the board, and each
Pictionary card has a list of five words printed on it. Players must draw the word which corresponds to the square on the board on which the team's marker is:
AP category (and a few other words) are designated as "All Play". For "All Play," the teams compete against each other. Each team designates a player whose purpose will be to draw pictures. The team that guesses the word first gets to advance and take the next turn. If none of the teams guess the word, the turn passes to whichever team should have been next.
Winning a turn
If a team wins its turn by correctly guessing a drawing inside the time interval, that team then rolls a
die and advances that number of squares to take another turn. If the team runs out of the time allotted for guessing a word, that team doesn't advance and the next team takes a turn. Also if the drawing member of a team doesn't draw the right picture and the team guesses what s/he is drawing and s/he is caught, then that turn is rewarded to the next team in line.
