'''''Pictionary''''' is a guessing [[word game]] designed by Robert Angel and first published in [[1985 in games|1985]] by Seattle Games Inc.<ref>[http://seattle.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/1997/10/13/smallb1.html Puget Sound Business Journal (Oct 10, 1997) ''Game Boys''] Retrieved 2010, May 17</ref> The game is played with [[team]]s with [[Player (game)|player]]s trying to identify specific [[word]]s from their teammates' [[drawing]]s. |
|||
==Objective== |
|||
Each team moves a piece on a game board formed by a sequence of [[square (geometry)|squares]].Each square has a [[Letter (alphabet)|letter]] or shape identifying the type of picture to be drawn on it. The [[Objective (goal)|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 [[round robin|rotates]] with each word. The drawer chooses a [[Playing card|card]] out of a deck of special ''Pictionary'' cards and tries to draw pictures which suggest the word printed on the card. The pictures cannot contain any [[number]]s 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. |
|||
A one-minute [[timer]], usually a [[sand timer]], is used to compel players to rapidly complete their drawing and guessing. |
