About the game
Everyone is an artist in Picassimo! Paint and exchange parts to create your masterpiece. Be the best at painting and guessing to win the game. Picassimo includes nine hundred terms for use in the game, with three levels of playing difficulty. Description from the publisher: Everyone is an artist! In Picassimo, the markers will be cheerfully brandished and true masterworks created by exchanging individual sections. But wait a minute! Is that supposed to be a goblin? Or rather a chicken? The player who can draw well and also keep one step ahead by guessing correctly, collects the most points and wins the game! 1. All the players draw at the same time. Each player secretly chooses a term from their card and draws it on their erasable drawing board. 2. Is everyone ready? Then a transformation card is turned up. It will show which sections of each artwork are to be exchanged. 3. Picassimo! Who can recognize what the other players have drawn? Description from the publisher (German): Jeder ist ein Künstler! Daher werden bei Picassimo munter die Stifte geschwungen und durch das Vertauschen einzelner Teile wahre Meisterwerke geschaffen. Doch Moment! Soll das ein Kobold sein? Oder doch ein Huhn? Wer gut malen kann und auch beim Erraten der Kunstwerke die Nase vorn hat, sammelt die meisten Punkte und gewinnt das Spiel! Ein total verdrehtes Malspiel. 1. Alle malen gleichzeitig: Jeder sucht sich geheim einen Begriff auf seiner Karte aus und bringt ihn auf seinem abwischbaren Malboard zum Ausdruck. 2. Sind alle fertig? Dann wird eine Vertausch-Karte aufgedeckt. Sie zeigt welche Teile eines jeden Kunstwerks vertauscht werden. 3. Picassimo! Wer erkennt jetzt noch, was die Mitspieler gemalt haben?! besonders abwechslungsreich: mit 900 Begriffen von einfach bis verzwickt: 3 Schwierigkeitsstufen

Picassimo supports 3–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Picassimo is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Picassimo for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Picassimo has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
