This game is great for all ages!

At first I thought, what happens later on when we all memorize the items on the board? Won't the game get boring?

The answer is: The game offers 9 tiles of pictures. There are pictures on both sides so during your play, you may rotate, flip or switch tiles to keep us gussing where the item is. It is how the game doesn't get old.

As we take turns, we roll a die of colors to pick which pile of cards we choose from. Red, Blue or Green.

Red for: bidding. That person bids how many he/she thinks they'll find of that particular item on the board before the timer runs out. The next player can outbid or pass)

Blue: All play. Whoever finds this particular item on the board wins that card.

Green: Personal. You find that particular item before the timer runs out.

The object of the game is to collect 6 cards. It can be changed to whatever you'd like it to be. 9 cards, 12 cards for longer game play or even 4 for shorter game play.

It's a cute game, my sons 8 and 9 loved it and so did the adults. The quality of the game is pretty good. At first I thought this game was going to be easy to find objects on the board but it isn't so.

Our whole family played this game for three straight nights over the Thanksgiving holidays. We had 6 to 9 players at different times from age 7 through their parents and the grandparents. Everyone enjoyed all aspects of the game. It becomes very engrossing and competitive. Even the
spectators enjoyed the excitement vicariously, especdally when everyone is looking for one item at once.I highly reccomend this game for all ages.
It really encourages your powers of observation. It is so cleverly drawn
that is is fun to just look at all the items and people on the boards.

Great game to play with the whole family, or any size group of friends. The timer is a little fast, but it keeps you moving! The pictures are really hard to find at times, would not recommend for mixed ages playing together because adults will definitely find items faster. However this game is really fun when it comes to finding items on blue cards, you have to find the exact picture and yell "Pictureka!" The race to find the cards is exhilarating and adds constant fun to the game. All nine game board pieces flip to reveal another side of pictures so that the game is constantly changing! I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys changing things up in their game night, or likes to play games that get you thinking.
