5.0 out of 5 stars Instant Fun! September 24, 2010

This is such a great game! I've played it in teams of 4 and teams of 2. Both were very fun. It's better than regular pictionary because it's inexpensive, travels well, is faster paced, involves more action simultaneously, and most importantly... no one has to draw and be intimidated! Great ice breaker. Great for familes. HIGHLY recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Game that Requires Cleverness! January 2, 2011

I have had a lot of fun playing the Pictionary Card Game with my relatives over the holidays. If you think this game is easier than Pictionary because all the drawings are done for you, reconsider that this game is quite unlike Pictionary, because you aren't free to draw whatever you like. You are forced to make do with a deck of 50 or so drawings, many of which are vague symbols like a triangle or squiggles. There are other shapes like a house, car, plane, or stick figure, which are very valuable too. The cards can be combined with each other, moved around, or used as props. (Aiming the gun-shaped drawing at people can be amusing.)

A player from each of the two teams looks at the secret word or phrase, then manipulates the cards to get the rest of the team to say it. Most of the words or phrases in the deck seem to be TV, movie, or song titles. The first team to say the word wins the round.

This game is challenging: the limited deck of drawings requires you to be resourceful. You have to be clever and creative with how you use them. To get someone to guess the song title "Dancing Queen," you might take the drawing of the female stick figure (the one with the dress) and hold a drawing with something spiky (the fork works well) behind the woman so that the spikes just barely stick out from behind the card--this looks like a crown on her head. Then, stand this figure up and tap it on the table like she's dancing, and hope your team figures it out!

I'd say the Pictionary Card Game is easy to set up and fast paced, but it can sometimes require a lot of patience on everybody's part, since it can sometimes take a few minutes to get someone to say a correct answer. But when somebody gets it right after such a challenging round, it feels like a great accomplishment. It is hard to stop playing this game!

I've played this game in 2 teams of 2 people each and it's quite fun - easily the game we laugh the most while playing these days. It tests your ability to think creatively, as there are many picture cards you can combine to convey your word. Essentially charades with cards since the rules allow you to use the cards in motion if needed. Each team is playing out the same word so you can also take a peek to see what your opponents are trying. One side of clue cards is for adults, the other for kids. There are enough cards so that it won't get utterly repetitive as a travel size game unless you played it frequently. First team to win 5 clues wins, though you could set any limit you wanted. For 2 teams of 2 it took less than 30 minutes to play a round including laughter time, though adult beverages may influence that as well :)

Recommendation: Use indoors only. There are several dozen picture cards and one good swift wind would send them all over the place.
