Learn about the history of Pictionary and how to play this beloved on-paper game below. Game Pieces When purchased as a board game, Pictionary comes with: A one-minute sand timer.

A numbered dice. Small pencils and paper or a whiteboard and dry erase markers. Four colored game pawns. Category cards for reference.

Clue cards. Each clue card has 5 words on them that fall into these different categories: All Play: Any word or expression. O: Object. A: Action or event. P: Person. D: Difficult words. Set-Up Before beginning, teams must be made.

To set up the game, follow these steps: Lay out the Pictionary board. Place the box of clue cards in the middle of the board. All teams select a pawn to use throughout the game and place it on the start square. Each team should decide on one person to be the first artist for their team.

Determine if there will be any special rules. Do plural and singular guesses need to be made distinct? How accurate do guesses need to be? How to Play Pictionary Follow these steps for playing this drawing-based paper game: Each team rolls the dice to determine who selects the first card. The team that rolls the higher number gets this chance.

The team that rolled the higher number selects a clue card. After five seconds have passed, start the timer. The artists have one minute to draw their answer. No numbers, gestures, words, or verbal clues may be given. The first team to guess the word correctly takes control of the dice. The team that guessed correctly rolls the dice and advances that number of spaces.

The team then takes its next turn. A new artist draws the word based on the space they landed on. If the word is guessed correctly, the team gets to roll the dice again. Keep alternating turns until one team reaches the Finish square. The word must be guessed correctly for the team to take the win. The winning team takes possession of the dice. An X can be used only to cross something out and not as a letter.

Board Game Capital warns against using this type of cheating, as it gives teams an unfair advantage. Players can use as many pieces of paper as they want for each turn.
