Pictures (2019)

About this game

Pictures is a quick-playing family game with very simple rules. Form the image on your secret picture card with one set of components, either shoelaces, color cubes, icon cards, sticks and stones or building blocks in such a way that the other players guess what image you have pictured: Pull out a marker from the bag that determines your secret picture card. Then form that image with your components in such a way that it is recognizable. And finally guess what image each other player has pictured. The players get points for correctly guessing other players images and for other players guessing their image. The most points wins! —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
