How to play
Pictionary is a party game which we can play in many ways. Make attention to set up the rules before you start.
Usually, the game looks as follows. There are two teams, which include the same amount of players. Decide which group will begin by flip the coin or roll the die. Each team assigns the first picturist. This person generate a word or phrase and try to sketch it as well as he/she can. It is a great moment to present your drawing skills. Of course, there is the time limit for it (usually 1 minute), so hurry up! If your teammates indicate correctly the pictionary phrase, your group gets the point. If they don't or the time runs out, the second team takes its turn and do the same. The picturists in each team should be changed to give everyone a chance to sketch. Decide what is the winning score, usually is 10.
The number of teams can be higher, but according mostly of people playing in 2 groups is the best.
You can play also singly if you want or your group is too small to play in teams. Then, one person is the picturist and the rest of the players try to guess what is being drawn. One correctly indicating - one point for this person. When someone gets the winning score, the picturist can be switched and the game starts again. You can play without points, too. Then, a person who guess the pictionary word, becomes the next picturist.
A lot of people use the special board but it is not essential.
Remember, the game is for you and your friends. Don't hesitate to make your own rules. Decide to play in teams or singly, extend or shorten the time limit or play without it, choose the word's difficulty level, divide your pictionary phrases into categories or not, devise a new scoring system, do everything to make the game more suitable to your needs.
