Advantages: endless hours of fun

Disadvantages: Need more cards

My favourite board game! It can get a bit hectic but my whole family join in and play this so it does suit all ages. It probably works best with about two teams - each team with two or three people in it - more then that then chaos ensues!

I don't think you necessarily have to be artistic, but you do need to be quick thinking and be able to read your partner / team well. It obviously helps to have a wide vocabularly as well as sometimes the younger members of my family can be a bit stuck on what to draw if they have never come across the word before.

My only criticism is that the timer in my game broke quite quickly - easy to replace I know - but I am not sure it was sturdy enough for my energetic and competitive family. There are also only so many cards in the game so if you play a lot you will find the same item come up again. It would be good if pictionary produced extra boxes of the cards so that you could play fresh games all over again without having to buy a whole new set when different versions do come out.

Overall, great fun for everyone though - and for me, I prefer the family to be active and engaged with each-other then sat in front of the TV!

Summary: Get playing!
