Played two rounds last night with our 8- and 9-year-old-- SO FUN. We played using only the kids' cards, and most were easy enough that the kids could draw and guess them without adult help. A few words/phrases were tougher, but that's what makes it fun, AND ensures longevity as the kids age. The dry-erase boards are small-ish but sufficient, the makers were great. A quick read-through of the instructions explained everything just fine. After two rounds we still had lots of cards left over, and with five words per side of each card, I'm hopeful we won't see too many repeats. Our children (avid board game players) have declared this their new favorite game. I agree...

A Party Favorite for Over 30 Years!
In the mid-1980s, a new party game entered the room and said, “Step aside, Charades. There’s a new sheriff in town!” Ever since then, Pictionary has been the ultimate party game -- for kids and adults!
Here’s How You Play…
The game is simple. One player chooses a card with a word or phrase on it and then draws images to get fellow teammates to say what’s on the card. No adding letters or numbers and no pointing to things in the room and no verbal cues! This game is all about the “art”!
“But I Can’t Draw!”
Don’t worry about it! The less artistic ability the players have, the funnier the game is! If your team members just aren’t getting what you’re drawing, try a different direction; you never know what kinds of clues might trigger the answer. Just do your best and get ready for a whole lot of laughs!
A Great Game for Kids and Adults.
There are two levels of clues (1200 Adult, 800 Junior) so if you like, kids and adults can play together. Pictionary is a beloved family game for all time.

A BIG Fan For Decades
Pictionary is a class game that friends and family of mine have enjoyed for many years. This review is more about this version then the game itself. The game is definitely 5 star but this version gets 4. What I do like is the reusable drawing pad idea and the cards that allow children to enjoy the game. The box layout is nice, giving everything a spot to fit in. The pencil player pieces are a clever touch (give that designer a raise).Now for what I'm not impressed with. The drawing cards are 6" x 4" which is too small (the box is 10.25" square so room is not an issue) and they are made from cheap cardboard with a shiny finish making it difficult to wipe clean and it never really gets 100%. Would two dry erase boards cost too much to include? I don't think so. There are two sets a of cards, one for adults and one for juniors. There are 120 adult cards and 80 for kids (my original Pictionary has 500 cards). Why so few cards? Is there a shortage of paper? The board is smaller (15.5" by 5.5") which is fine but now you can only have 2 teams instead of the 4. I guess you can make 4 but you'll have to add paper, pencils and two more player pieces.As a family man I do like the fact my kids can now play. We've only come across 2 topics my 7 years old did not understand. They love playing this game and they both enjoy drawing so it's a win win. (Note to editor: tambourine is not spelled "tambournie")Overall this version of Pictionary is not an improvement. I suggest finding yourself a copy of the original (still sold here on Amazon) and start playing a great game.
